Startup-screen saver problem

Tracynet, on Thursday 22 May 2008 à 12:27:38

Hello,

I am also running Norton Antivirus 2006.

Once my computer boots everything looks fine. If I scroll my mouse to the bottom the task bar will not come up. I can run any program, but once the program starts, as soon as I click within a window, the blue bar at the top turns gray and the computer freezes. I can do cntl/alt/del. When that window opens, I click on it once, the blue bar at the top turns gray. I click on it a second time, the gray bar turns blue and my computer runs normally and the task bar can be seen again. At the same time this started, my screen saver quit working. I tried several screen savers and none of them will work. When I first boot the computer, if I let it sit the screen saver will start running. But when I try using the computer and do the whole cntl/alt/del thing the screen saver will not run again. Any ideas? When this happens and I do the cntl/alt/del and look at processes, usually 98% is on system idle process.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello

You shouldn't be using cntl/alt/del to change screens. You are not explaining WHAT you click on in Task Manager when you open it with cntl/alt/del. Screen savers will not initiate if there is activity. So something is active and is stopping the screensaver from working.

Concerning your taskbar, you must have the taskbar set to autohide. Get the taskbar to show and right click on it. Choose properties> untick autohide.

Hey,

I am having the exact same problem as Tracynet! It started about a month ago. I am running Panda AV+FW.

Computer boots normally. The first time I open a program or desktop link, it starts up fine but the page is 'unclickable.' The only method to get around this is cntl/alt/del (I do it before opening any program after restart). You don't have to click anything in the Task Manager, just open it and close it. Then everything works fine. Except the screensaver.

Your help is much appreciated.
