Change the screensaver to logon and get this error message - is required to run this screensaver Direct3D 9.0, but cannot be found.

I changed the idle screen to login to one of the windows Vista by default (ssText3D.scr).  and I get this message:

Direct3D 9.0 is required to run this screen saver, but cannot be found.  Please install the latest version of DirectX and try to re-run the screen saver.

DirectX is installed. The screensaver works if someone is logged even if it is locked, but not to the logon screen.  All the patches?

Hi pfdr70,
 
1. are you able to apply other screensavers?
 
We recommend trying the following steps and check the result.
Step 1: Download and install the latest video card driver.
1 visit the system manufacturer's Web site, download the Vista compatible video card driver and install it.
2 restart the computer so that the changes take effect after the driver installation.
 
Step 2: Set the monitor to display better.
See Get the best display on your monitor
Step 3: Enable graphics acceleration.
1. open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings.
2. click on display settings, and then click Advanced settings.
3. click on the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
4. move the slider full hardware acceleration.
 
Kind regards
Syed
