Default Screen Saver problem on Mini1012 - 02-22-2010, 04:16 AM

Im having problems with my screen saver on my DELL mini1012. i just got it today. Screen saver doesn't work. Everytime i click apply and okay. It still doesn't work.. The preview works fine but when you click okay/apply and check it again it still go back to none. Anyone experience this on Windows 7 Starter? Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks in advance!!!!

have seen this on other laptops before. Do you have a wireless mouse connected? If so disconnect it and see if that solved the problem.

Win 7 Starter is a VERY limited version, upgrade to either Home Professional or Ultimate for the full effects or use a third party pgm as mentioned above...
