New XP Problems

I say new because I've been running XP for a while now, and I've only started noticing this recently.

The problem is that the aquarium screensaver sometime kicks in while I'm working. I don't mean that I pause while I'm doing something and the saver kicks in then (I have it set to start up after only a couple of minutes of inactivity), but that I can actually be typing or using the mouse when it kicks in.

This wouldn't be so bad, but it doesn't seem to start up properly and I end up with just a blank screen or sometimes just a blank section of the screen and I have to CRTL-ALT-DEL and shut it down from there.

While writing this I realise I havn't tried to see if this is just the aquarium or if it hapens with other savers as well. I guess I'll try and find out. Also I'll try and take note of what applications I'm running when it happens.

Anyone else noticed any similar probs.
