Windows XP >> Screen Saver I have a problem with my screen saver. When I change it, it goes back to the
Windows XP logo. It does the same thing with themes as well.

I do have a wire lees key board and mouse. Would that have anything to do
with it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Windows XP >> Screen Saver It may be being set to None. Check your setting for the screensavers path.

Here are some examples:

Marine Aquarium 2.scr > rename it to > MarineAquarium2.scr

In the registry, screensaver will work correctly if it is listed as so:
c:\windows\system32\marine~1.scr

Screen Savers do not work correctly if listed as so:
""c:\windows\system32\marine aquarium 2.scr""
