Screensaver doesn't activate?

I've been noticing that if I'm away from the PC for a while, the
screensaver hasn't been activated..

So, another settings change or registry edit?

Thanks

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason
backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a
very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs
of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so
the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason
synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock

Hi,

It's probably one of two things:

1) The time out settings aren't there. Right click the desktop and choose
personalize. Click on Screensaver and check both it and power settings.

2) There is some active software, even if it's not visual, that is
preventing it from activating. Check the processes tab of Task Manager for
high cpu usage. In particular, some antivirus products can cause this
unwanted behavior with their active scanning routines.
