Hello, I had the same problem and fixed it by accident. Go to windows update
, check for hidden updates and install all of the updates. There were three
that I didnt really know what they were for. I installed them hoping that it
would fix a dvd burner problem, but was nicely suprised when my screensaver
and energy saver started working again.
Good luck
Dave
