My problem is that until recentley (a long time after vista SP1 upgrade) my
settings worked ok, i could choose which theme i wanted ie.
random/collage/travel etc. But now in the past 3/4 days it will only play the
normal theme without any variation...can anyone please help me.
I',m running Vista Home Premium 64 bit...

It's some problem in your Profile settings (ntuser.dat) It's loaded as you
log on, and something is probably corrupt in the registry. I would create a
new user profile, and copy the settings over.

Another approach might be to turn off the screen saver, restart Windows, and
turn it back on.
