screen saver

Anyone have any idea why my screen saver doesn't kick in as of a couple days ago?

It shows under "properties" and I can even re-click "apply" but no matter how much lag time I give it, it won't come on

It and the following question I have in a different post occurred about the same time. It is as follows.............

Anyone having trouble with the recent updates?

I have noticed that I can be typing along and all the sudden I'm typing blanks. Just happened recently. The other day, I backed up with system recall a week wondering if I picked up something that my anti-vir couldn't find. The problem seemed to go away.

Last evening I let it re-download the same couple updates and the problem re-appeared. I backed it up clear to Jan 1 and again, it seems to be OK. I see it is wanting to download them again. Don't think so.
