    Does anyone get the same issue on their Alienware m17rx3 with Radeon 6970m? My Windows Live Photo Gallery Screensaver no longer works properly. I don't know if it is down to the graphics card drivers. Basically I cant access themes as I get message ' the computer's video card is unable to play themes'. Looking on line you can regedit WinSATscore to re-enable but now any videos that are in the folder cause the screensaver to crash. Do you think it's down to the graphics card drivers. I read maybe re-rating the WEI score after Live Photo Gallery causes the problem. Does anyone else get the same?
