I found a reason why Beta 2 should NOT be a Public Beta!

I found a reason why Beta 2 should NOT be a Public Beta: The Computer
Surgeon General's Warning: Do NOT Use the Windows Blue Energy Screen Saver,
It will Freeze (Lock Up) Your Computer, just FYI.

How do you know it's just not your crappy computer? Works fine here on all
my machines s

I had exactly the same problem. Which color of blue (light blue, blue or
dark blue) are you using? I found that if you switched to a composite
blue/green color the problem disappeared, just FYI.
Frank
P.S. try it!

Is that really a reason it should not be a public beta? Haha, I still want it
weither the screen savers work or not. However, I will say thanks for the
warning.

I look foreward to the public beta. It will be my first good look at the new
operating system. "In the coming weeks...". Bummer.

Just FYI, it doesn't lock up on my machine, it works fine, Kevin.

So if I change my Desktop Back Ground to something other then the Default
Blue Color in both Client and Server Beta 2, the Problem will go Away,
Correct?

Update: I changed the Desktop Back Gound on Both Client and Server from the
Default Blue Color to the Bright Red Color, and the Problem seems to have
gone away, just FYI.
