Screen saver does not come on

I've set the screen saver for 1 minute, but it never comes on. I
noticed that the user had several screen savers that they downloaded.
I got rid of all of them, and I still can't get the screen saver to
work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian

An application that is running in the background may prevent Windows
from entering the idle mode. Check your startup settings to find out
what is causing this. Applications that start with Windows can be
found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
