Don't mean to sound demeaning or anything but I presume it is actually activated through control panel and the settings are correct??

If this is all correct then you could try repairing your windows or whatever OS you're using as your screensaver files may have become corrupt or been deleted by mistake.

Its also possible if you downloaded a freebie its chock full of advirus and your scanner killed it. If its windows included screen saver, then very likely its gotten corrupted and repairing it as above will be necessary. Or you could be low on memory, so windows wont load it.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, it is activated and stuff. Must have checked that 20 times just to make totally sure lol. I think something has been deleted and I have no idea how. Another problem that I have, I cannot install anything on my computer. Something about the Windows Installer or something. So I guess to fix all the problems, I have to reinstall Windows. *sigh* lol
Thanks again guys

Re: Screen saver not working

or do a system restore if you can, easier than reinstallation

Re: Screen saver not working

I agree with Liz ... if you have the .exe file of the screensaver try that,

have you blocked admin rights regarding the downloading and installing.

Liz- System restore dont work.
LadyEye - I havent blocked anything!

I couldnt even install that. So I reformatted my computer. Starting the long process of installing everything again. Was having problems with my wireless network lastnight. Going to try that again later. Thanks LadyEye!
