My screen saver is not appearing and is missing from the desktop

Asked By John Pike 70 points N/A Posted on - 12/17/2012

 

 Hi,

I have a computer at my home running on win XP OS and I use to perform only basic activities. But I like to maintain my computer well. For the past one week, my screen saver is not appearing and is missing from the desktop.

But, there is no problem with newer versions. Please advise me whether I need to change my monitor or get it repaired.

Thanks for the solutions.

2. In registry click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

3. Now click on Software.>Microsoft.>Windows.>Current version.>Policies.>System.

5. Right click on both of them one by one.

6. Click on Modify

7. Put 0 in value data and click on ok.

If this solution did not help you then try to Restore your system

1. Click on start and then Help and support.

2. You will see Undo changes to computer with system restore.
