    unsure Screen saver won't go away in Vista

    Hello Friends,

    I'm running Windows Vista on my system. The problem is that i'm using diligent settings and i can't get my computer to go to screen saver. My desktop gets steady and i have to turn off my monitor manually. Can any one help me out to resolve this issue? Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey you can try out the following steps.

    Just go to your Start Menu--> Control panel --> Display --> Screen Saver. In that you can modify as you want and get rid of your problem.

    Check out your registry by doing the following steps.

    HKEY_USERS\++++++\Control Panel\Desktop, the ++++++ means all profiles, under SCRNSAVE.EXE="what you would like to see"

    Especially look for this one ++++++ as your DEFAULT.

    If these keys exist - delete all; They intercept calls to screensaver start. Check for this under all ControlSet(s).

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Nl s\MUILanguages\RCV

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Nl s\MUILanguages\RCV

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet004\Control\Nl s\MUILanguages\RCV

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Nls\MUILanguages\RCV
