Problem: Although I choose a screen saver and say OK, the screen saver does not activate, I enter the settings again, the screen saver option is not available by itself
it is gone
Solution: first apply the following registry entry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionIniFileMappingsystem.inioot] @=”SYS:Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WOW\boot” “ScreenSaverActive”=”USR:Control Panel\Desktop” “ScreenSaverIsSecure”=”USR:Control Panel\Desktop” “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=”USR:Control Panel\ Desktop” “Shell”=”SYS:Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionIniFileMappingsystem.inioot] “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=”USR: Control Panel\Desktop” [HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTControl PanelDesktop] “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=”logon.scr” [HKEY_USERSS-1-5-18Control PanelDesktop] “SCRNSAVE.EXE”= “logon.scr” [HKEY_USERSS-1-5-19Control PanelDesktop] “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=”%SystemRoot%\System32\logon.scr” [HKEY_USERSS-1-5-20Control PanelDesktop ] “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=”%SystemRoot%\System32\logon.scr”
paste these codes into a notepad and click File – Save As… Click
Give any name in the window that opens (edit the file name and extension as you wish) and save and run as .reg
<
If it doesn’t work, download and run the following Download 1 │ Download 2
Here is the .reg code to activate the screensaver in Xp
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop] “ScreenSaveActive”=”1” “ScreenSaveTimeOut”=”120”
But probably the first .vbs file will solve your problem.
