No responses in another newsgroup, please forgive the crosspost . . .

Hi all -
A friend's computer that used to go to the screensaver just fine (after 15
minutes) has suddenly stopped doing so. Are there any tricks someone knows
or maybe a Registry tweak that will restore the screensaver's functionality
? The only changes made between the time it worked and now are the MS
security updates and a graphics program. Thanks for your input.

There was some problems awhile ago using 3D Screensavers with XP, but this
is an Outlook Express newsgroup you are posting to. I would ask in a
newsgroup for the OS you are using.

Perhaps this still applies:
