    DELL XPS M1530
    T9300 2.5GHz 6MB L2 cache
    4GB DDR2
    200GB 7200rpm
    nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256MB DDR2
    Vista Ultimate SP1

    Why does sometimes( but I feel everytime ) if I left the laptop for more than 5 mins.( I have set the screen saver to be activated every 5mins. ) the screensaver did not work?

    I use the Bubble one.

    So I must go to Screen Saver settings again and click Apply / OK.

    Usually after this, it is on.

    Why it can be like this? Is this because of the Bubble or another Vista bugs?

    Thanks

    The same thing happens to me with any screensaver on XP. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesn't. I just learned to live with it after awhile. ;)
