PC Gurus: Need screen saver help - 04-20-2007, 06:59 PM


The screen saver function has completely stopped working on my PC. I can usually figure things out, but this one has me befuddled. I've checked all settings that I'm aware of and everything appears to be in order. It's got to be something simple that I'm overlooking. Suggestions?

Can you describe it a little better?

Is your screen saver not being activated after a the time set?
Does your screen saver stay after you want to exit the screen saver?

Try this

No, it will not activate after setting the timer.

OK, terminating ehtray.exe worked. Now, I just have to find out what that file does. :-)

Thanks, Noe!
