2813.0. "Screensaver and themes funnies?" by WOTVAX::16.194.208.3::warder.reo.dec.com::sharkeya (Who am I now ?) Sat Feb 22 1997 07:32

I reinstalled W95 from scratch. Added Plus!, SP1 and Office 97. Updated 
Themes.exe from the Office97 kit.

 I am getting funnies with my screen saver and Themes.

Screen saver won't come in after a reboot. If I manually set it, then its 
fine till the next reboot.

I only have a few active screen savers - all the others (the Plus! ones) 
just blank the screen.

Themes only works if I start it from THEMES.EXE - not control panel.

Anyone any clues ?

regards

Alan

2813.1SS enabled on default user?skylab.zko.dec.com::FISHERGravity: Not just a good idea. It's the law!Sun Feb 23 1997 19:158
    Do you have usernames and passwords enabled?  If so, log onto the
    default user account (i.e. hit "cancel" at the login box) and make sure
    screensavers are enabled there (it does not matter which one).  This is
    a bug that is in the Microsoft Knowledge Base or some such.  I found it
    a while ago and it fixed random ss non-starting for me.
