"Lazy" Screensaver

[mrlewp]

Screensaver does not activate , more often than not. It will for a while , then stop on its own....but mostly just does not come on. Can something be simulating activity ... or what?
Any ideas , other than reboot , or system restore. ( I used to use "Control Screensaver" utility , and same thing would happen )

sounds like something is running in the background.....

there are too many causes to name from thsi to be qutie honest.

first and simplest, what kind of mouse do u have?
second.. what are your settings for the screen saver?
third its not a program screensaver is it?
fourth make sure windows only has the basics running and no extras

>Mouse ; USB optical - wired , 2 button plus wheel/button
>Screensaver is set at 7 mins., using "My Pictures Slideshow"...
and Power settings have monitor turn-off after 30 mins.
>Just basics running ?
>DSL internet - always on !

Interesting, first off you may wanna try out hijackthis and post a log.
second... u dont have a holographic mouse pad do u? it makes ur mouse jump when u use optical and screensavers wont come on and they mess them up with the barely moving mouse
