Re: Cannot enable screen saver



This happens if the "ScreenSaveTimeout" Policy is set. Is your system connected to a corporate network?

On my screen saver tab, all the normal system-loaded screen savers are
available and I can "Preview" them. However, the "Wait: XX minutes" box is
greyed out and the none of the screen savers will enable after any amount of
idle time. Can anyone give me hand?
