I can't seem to find the properties for the screen saver on a few Windows 2000 PCs. I can invoke the display properties window but the Screensave tab is missing. However, I can ctrl+alt+del and lock the PC just fine. Help, has anyone come across this before?

Seems to me that you have corrupted files try running checkdisk on those systems if no help then I believe your looking at a reinstall to replace those files. or possible a virus

You might look at the Group Policy settings. Our corporate installed a company-wide screensaver that prevented users from changing. In our case the tab is visible but the selections are ghosted.

There's probably a setting to remove the entire tabfrom view, too.

In the group policy editor (gpedit.msc), if you go to User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display, you will find an entry "Hide Screen Saver Tab".
