I have been in Google looking but can't find an answer why my screen saver won't work. I set it for 10 min and came back in twenty and it didn't kick in. When I test it, it works, it was the bubble one. Anyone out there with this problem?

I'll try it out. I don't use screen savers.

I set the bubble screen saver for 1 minute and it did work.

Greg, what do you use then instead? Do you just turn off the monitor? I could do that.

I'm on a laptop, so I just close it and it goes into standby. You can change a your power setting/mode setup, to automatically put your monitor in standby after a certain amount of time of inactivity. Then when you move your mouse, the monitor clicks back on. It saves electricity too.
