Big Grin Won't Start as Screen Saver

My screensaver is not working. I have ver. 2.6.
It works ok if I go to settings and hit preview, it just wont start on its own.
I am running Media center.

This can be caused by any combination of the following:

1. Programs running in the background. Nearly all computers have programs and utilities running in the background, not noticed, but requiring resources to operate. Some of these programs are less obtrusive than others.

Examine the programs in your System Tray (The area just to the left of the clock on the Taskbar). Placing your mouse cursor over the icons will give you item's full name. If you have Windows XP you may have to "Show hidden icons" using the small circle and arrow button to the left of the System Tray.

If it is not one of your basic system functions (volume, task manager, mouse, video card, printer, etc.) exit, disable or close the program. Right-clicking will usually give you options.

2. Windows or another program is trying to update. Be sure that ALL programs on your system have been updated or do not update automatically.

3. Viruses and Spyware can steal a lot of system resources; in fact this is one of the symptoms of being infested with this malevolent software. Update and run your antivirus program. Do a full system scan to be sure that your computer is clean.

Please let me know if you have any questions...

How did I miss this thread?

Does any other screensaver work?
Does it work when you just double click on the icon?

Run DxDiag, run the Test Direct 2D and Direct 3D, then save the log and send it to me.
