My win vista screensaver stopped working

the screensaver included in vista worked properly for nearly 18 months, but has now ceased to launch. I have not installed anything new. I tried all the presets (i.e. 3D, Mystify, ribbons, etc.) and we tried different deadlines. I also tried to turn the password on the resume. any help would be appreciated.

rgb1112,
I recommend that you execute the following analysis:

The System File Checker tool:

To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

Click Start-> click all programs-> on Accessories-> right click on command prompt, select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

Let us know the results of your analysis. Rami

  • Vista screensaver stopped working because it requires a newer video card or Direct 3D compatibility

    Windows Vista Professional Home: The resolution changed by itself, when I restored it to the original setting, the screen saver stopped working because it requires a newer video card or compatibility with Direct 3D. Nothing has changed on my system over the past two years, and everything worked well. That's happened? Why I get this message? Thanks LS

    Thanks for the reply.

    Based on your response, it seems that the display driver has been corrupted by a reason, then I suggest you to install the latest display driver. Even if you do not use Direct 3D I recommended to leave the computer updated with the latest drivers that are released by the manufacturer of the computer so that it can run Windows features correctly.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    LTCRay,

    If the problem persists in Mode without fail, it is very likely that the system has been infected.
    You can take a look at the post of PA Bear on the removal of the malware on this thread:
    Remember that you may need to removed the hard drive from the system to scan for infections.

  • Why the screensaver stop working after a few minutes and then go to the black screen permanently?

    I use Vista Home Premium with Explorer 8. My screensaver always works for about 5 minutes and then stops and goes to a black screen. Still black screen and my screen saver active ever again until I have move my cursor to display the page I was on. The screen saver does not available parameters except to set the number of minutes, I want to start. I ran antivirus, anti-spyware-malware etc the gamet, but anything is wrong with the screen saver. I am blocked and never had this problem before. Anyone know what is happening, what is the cause and how to fix this?

    If you changed your diet plan or changed some settings for your course, it can happen.

    (1) go in the bottom right of your screen and click on the battery icon and click more power options (assuming that you have a laptop. If you don't go to the control panel (Classic view) and go into power options)

    (2) on your package (indicated by a blue dot next to it), click on change plan settings and navigate screen however turn it off for a long time, you want it to be before he turns off the screen.

    I do not recommend messing around with drivers, because when I did, it messed up my screen and ended up back where I was before she has nothing (sorry James). of couse I messed up a little and the only real problem was the catylist control center has disappeared, and when I tried to fix this, I came across problems (it looked like a safe mode without the mode without failure of words on the corners)

  • Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Vista immediately stops working when you try to open.

    Hello!

    I've been all around the internet trying to solve this problem, but nothing has worked so far.  When I try to start Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for Vista, (in general), it stops working at their opening saying the following:

    "Windows Movie Maker has stopped working".

    There has been a few times when it actually opens and I can work on my videos, however, it's very, very, rare and seems to happen randomly.

    I tried to open in safe mode, but it still fails to open.  I also tried to open .avi short and simple with WMM 6.0 files to see if it will be open, but that, generally, does not either.

    Once, I was able to open random and I have disabled all the filters on the Compatibility tab and temporarily activated only video filters that I needed.  That seemed to fix the problem for several days, and I could open Movie Maker 6.0 several times.  Sometimes it would freeze everything and save, or stop working when importing video files, but at least it would be open.  I was able to record some videos.  After a few days, my computer day and WMM 6.0 is more open more.  I don't know if yes or no update is the reason why Movie Maker 6.0 started crashing again, but it was the only thing that has changed on my computer while I could uncheck the Compatibility tab filters and open WMM 6.0. [Could uncheck all filters to be part of the problem?]

    I usually works with .mov files, and I read on how this type of file sometimes causes problems with Windows Movie Maker.  However, the problem normally occurs when I try to open the program (and if WMM opens, I can very well change .mov files).  I do not think that the file type is causing the crash, but I guess that's always a possibility...

    I also read that sometimes Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for vista doesn't work with all computers that have vista installed, and Windows Movie Maker 2.6 must be used to place.  Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is working fine on my computer, but it cannot change the .mov files, or record in HD.  I had horribly degrading the quality of the video with the conversions of files to use WMM 2.6.  Windows Movie Maker 6.0 is much better, on the rare occasions that it works.  Do you think I should use Windows Movie Maker 2.6 now?

    Here are two problem reports that appear more often when you try to open Windows Movie maker 6.0.  The window of support almost always said I need to update my computer again (even if there is no new update), or that it is a problem of security Data Execution Prevention.  Windows Movie Maker cannot be added to the list of exceptions to Data Execution Prevention, or I can check to see if the filters from the Compatibility tab are always disabled in the program, I don't know how to solve this problem...

    Thank you!

    Very often, but not always, Code exception: c0000005 is a permissions access error, so have you tried right-clicking on the MM shortcut or .exe and selecting the option "Run As Administrator"?  Other times a reinstallation of the program crash can fix.  As you can not do with Movie Maker the next best option is to try the System File Checker.

    Hello

    Start with, there is no file called rederz.exe in a Windows installation or any software that I can find in a quick search. If the file name is correct and that you have not created yourself, you are probably infected by a virus any. I start in safe mode and focus on the two deleting the file and boot entry that loads. Trend should not work in normal mode, because the bug is loading and actively holdouts, who could explain easily why he and the Explorer shell stop working.
