My screen saver is not functioning. I get a black screen saying "Windows could not start this screen saver".
Discussion is locked
Do any of the other screen savers in the list work? If so any problems with those?
I might have thought that there could be a problem with your video card, but if the other screen savers still work, then that will not be the case.
Have you had any other problems with this system recently?

I had the same issue regardless of which screen saver I chose, but no other issues with the PC.I changed the setting to start the screen saver in one minute and had the same issue, but now it seems to be working.Ghosts in the machine!
