You might try to see if your screen saver works in safe mode. If so try
uninstalling and reinstalling your video driver.
If you have system restore it should back up every day. Did you install
updates all in one day?
You might try going into regedit and doing a search on the screensaver
which created the problems and then deleting the entries. Make sure you
back up your registry before doing this.
