The screen saver does not take effect when reaching the time delay set to activate it. Is this due to a program confkict or other issue?

Thanks

Often a "noisy" mouse can be the cause. If the system detects a movement out of the mouse, even one that is not noticable to you, it won't come on. Can you preview the screen saver?

Another thing to look at is what you're using to control the screen saver. Did you install a 3rd party program to use? Or, are you allowing Windows to control it?

Thanks ThumbsUp2. I have a wireless mouse but the problem only recently occurred following a hard drive crash. I heard that Microsoft's Power DVD might be the problem. Regards
