    Hi all,

    My screen saver suddenly stopped working on my 1210. I have tried alot of stuff, except defrag. It has XP and I have never had a problem until now.

    Anyone else have a problem like this?

    Thanx

    Sorry, hit the wrong button.

    2. Changed desktops numerous times.
    3. Clicked on and off settings, etc.
    4. Last night I defraged, still no luck.
    5. Everything else is working fine.

    A friend of mine told another friend of his had the same problem and his computer is a Dell.

    have you checked the time setting for how long before being idle the screensaver should pop up.

    Yes it is set for 1 minute. I can't understand this at all. It is very frustrating. UGH!
