Hi

When I set the screen saver, and it won't come on. When you go to preview it will come on for half of a second and then go off. I've checked and the video card works fine and is up to date on drivers. This hasn't been for just Win 8 but also 7 and Vista.

Is there something I could do/install that would make it come on and stay on? Thanks.

Best Regards,

Rossy

There might be something in Power Settings that you have to reset.

If you have upgraded from Vista to Win 7 then to Win 8 CP you could very easily brought forward a problem from one OS to the next.

This is one of the biggest reasons why I always recommend a Custom (Clean) install when moving from one OS to the next. I don't care if it costs more time because I have to reinstall my apps. It gives me a pristine installation. Going to Win 8 CP is a beta OS. One should never upgrade to a beta IMHO. This is just asking for trouble.

The Win 8 RP will be out in early June. This next beta OS will REQUIRE a Custom (Clean) install, so be prepared.

It is the default for Windows 8 screensaver preview. Maybe a bug. I has been reported several times the MS, so hopefully will be improved in the final version. But confirm, otherwise, your screen saver is working ok?
