Cool Screen Saver doesn't come on

I have set MA as my screen saver, but it doesn't work, running as a program works fine, it just doesn't come up as the screensaver. Instead I get the standard XP bouncing around the screen.

Being my home computer, there are 5 accounts. I have set each one to use MA as the screensaver, but still only get the default XP.

Any suggestions?

How many of these accounts had Admin status when you installed MA? Is the screen saver selection changing to the flying windows in the Display Properties/Screen Saver or is it still set to MA?

All of the accounts have admin privileges. I checked a little more this morning and found that if someone is logged in, MA does come on as the screensaver. It's when everyone is logged out (sign-on screen) that it goes to the XP screensaver. I thought it defaults to the saver of the last person to log in/out. In the past my daughter has had weird savers that come on after she logs out.

There's a trick to getting MA to come on when you are logged out.

Found it!

This little utility will let you configure which Screen Saver is shown at the Login screen:

That looks like a good fix, except the 'Download Mirror #1' link is broken. I sent a message to the webmaster to fix it.

Also, Microsoft has a specific procedure for changing the Windows Logon screen saver. They are outlined here on the Microsoft Support website:
