Themes do not stay as selected

Hi Joan,

If I remember Nature plus is a win98 theme.

Are you only having trouble with win98 themes?

If so one thing to check is that they are installed properly.
They should be in Windows\plus\Themes

Another thing to try would be to get a copy of Desktop Architect. It handles
Win98 themes and may correct this problem.

Post back with results

Hope this helps
Richard

Hi Joan,

It is being set to None. Check your setting for the screensavers path.

Here are some examples:

Marine Aquarium 2.scr > rename it to > MarineAquarium2.scr

In the registry, screensaver will work correctly if it is listed as so:
c:\windows\system32\marine~1.scr

Screen Savers did not work correctly if listed as so:
""c:\windows\system32\marine aquarium 2.scr""
