Guest Ale Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Whenever I install a new screen saver (it happens with all), it will install all of the corrsponding files for that screen saver. If I go to c:\windows\System32 the corresponding scr files are installed and can be executed as well as the C:\Program Files folder corresponding to that screen saver, but it will not be added to the XP Screen Saver list (right click on desktop/Properties/Display Properties/Screen Saver tab/Screen saver drop down list). Is there any way to fix this? Thanks. (My system is a Windows XP Pro SP3 and the issue was still present when it was SP2).
