I just bought a new Toshiba laptop with Vista OS but, the screen savers will
not work. However, I can access the screen savers through the Control Panel
and even "Preview" them.

Anybody have an idea as to how I can make the screen savers "work"?

How about a little more info. How do you know the screen savers don't work?
What did you do to test it?

I know I have screen savers since I can "preview" them in control panel. I
switched between screen savers and also set the time for ten minutes and also
one minute. No longer how long the computer is inactive...no screen saver

Are you using a mouse additon to the touchpad? If so, try removing the
mouse. It also can be related to any other device connected through usb.
