Help screen saver doesn't work

[bass4040]

My screen saver doesn't come on XP, I set it to ten min and leave, after hours nothing. Preview works, but it won't engage on its own. Login as admin. Also set my lcd to turn off after 20 min, power options don't seem to work either.

Tried every one from XP, none engage.

sounds like you have something working in the background, so your computer doesn't think it's idling. Grab Process Monitor from Microsoft and see what all's running in the background.
