Re: Screen saver does not start

I forgot to mention earlier:-

If you have the administrative rights then:-

Check the settings here:-
Start>run and type gpedit.msc >ok


then naviagte to here:
User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Desktop.

look for the reuired polices and change accordingly.

under [T]:-

Themes (Won't Load or only Windows Classic is listed)

Go to Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Themes. Set to Automatic. Also check your settings here:

Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Terminal Services/Log On. At the bottom ensure that Hardware Profile Original Configuration is Enabled.

If the above doesn't apply/nor help: Only windows Classic is listed under Appearance:

1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. On the Theme tab, choose the Windows XP.
3. If this option is missing, you may choose Browse... to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme
4. The Luna.theme is the theme of the Windows XP.

If Luna.theme is missing: Go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Expand Files: Luna.MS_ and Luna.TH_

Thank's for the help. This did work; however, XP now loads up with only the classic view option. I also have an upgraded graphics card and it says that I don't have permission to change certain display settings...How do I get XP to load with the same appearance as before?

The screen saver does not start after the time specified. Screen saver can be previewed but acts as if there is something running in the background. I have tried the suggestions listed in previous posts, to no avail. Sony will not offer 2nd tier tech support without my perfoming a full system restore. The computer works fine except for the screen saver, and the power management doesn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
