Screensavers
Hi,
Most problems with screensavers and desktop picture files are caused by windows being unable to locate the screensaver/desktop picture file on a subsequent reboot. Try therefore to copy/paste whatever screensaver pics you want into the WINDOWS folder of the C DRIVE (primary boot drive) of your computer. This is where windows holds its own screensaver pic files. Then select your screensaver file in the normal manner
From WIndows Help Files:
