    Screen Saver freezing desktop
    « on: May 23, 2010, 04:58:46 PM »
    When I get off my XP computer it turns on the screen saver in 10 mins. Well after I come back and move the mouse to turn off the screen saver, it goes back to my desktop, but all I can use is the taskbar, the background with all my icons is frozen with the picture of the screen saver. If I open the start menu, and then close it, the picture of it stays on the background as well. I've already updated the video card drivers, and it didn't help. If anyone can help it would be very appreciated.

      try a different screen saver

      to change the screen go to display properties, right click on the desktop and choose properties, then click on the screen saver tab

      if you computer is going into standby it may be having trouble waking up
