Re: screen saver

Sounds to me like it could be some sort of virus, but not sure as it is an update that you are downloading. Maybe there is something else that with the update you are picking up and then when you go back you are removing the virus as well.

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.
