  Hello

  ·         You can use the keyboard or the mouse wireless?

  I know, a wireless device can cause damaged screen saver. If so, please change another available cable device.

  By default, the settings are different from different screensavers. Some screensavers have these options to be set in the window of the screen saver, as the text the screen saver, 3D Screensaver pictures, popular screensaver and screensaver of Windows Live Photo Gallery. Some screen savers have no options to set in the window of the screen saver, such as screen saver Aurora, the white screensaver, the screensaver bubbles, Mystify, ribbons screen saver screen saver and Windows Logo screen saver. However, if you want to change these settings for screen savers, you can customize them through the registry instead.

  To resolve this problem, I would propose the following suggestions.

  Method 1: Try to scanner auditor of file system (CFS) on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  Hi Sunny,

  You can't add as sepia options, randomly in the screen saver. Windows comes with several screen savers. You can also create your own personal photo screen savers, that you saved on your computer, or some software companies might develop additional screensavers for download or purchase.

• My screen saver does not work and it's turnd.

  That check for screen saver does not

  Hi k4trm,

  1. what happens when you set a screen saver? What screensaver you have defined on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the screen saver does not to work.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you update the driver for graphics card on the computer visiting the site of graphics card manufacturer.

  There, you'll be able to set the time interval so that the screen saver is used.

• Screen saver does not react when I "wiggle" the mouse or press "Esc"; 'Enter', etc.

  I had the same screen saver running for centuries (it goes right through my photos), but in the last few weeks, I am unable to find the screen to 'wake up' 'wiggle' of the mouse or press "Esc"; 'Enter' etc etc.  Its very frustrating because I have to press several keys at random and then wait about 5 minutes for the screen saver turns off.  I'm still on Windows 7 and it is up to date.

  No idea how to get the screensaver to respond normally again?

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.
