How do I repair WinXP "My Pictures Slideshow"

With the help of the many suggestions on this wonderful website, we were able to win our battle with SpywareNo, Win32.Bagle.CL and EG, Win32.Netsky.AA, Trojan.Downloader.Bagle.H and we are relieved!

However, the thing that alerted us in the first place that weird things were going on -the screensaver- still doesn't function properly. To be more precise, it previews just fine, and works when set to 1 minute, but doesn't work when set to anything over 1 minute. We have tried the other standard screensavers and they too only work when set to 1 muinute. How do we repair this? We can't find any information anywhere!

We do not have a WinXP installation disk, and we'd rather not refer back to the backup DVD made upon purchase because we are afraid it isn't any good. Also, since we just defeated the worms etc. we have no restore points left to refer back to. However, we have two side-by-side (WinXP) desktop computers that are combined into a little network, so we are able to share files.

Any helpful suggestions are welcome,
Thanks!

Download the following Program:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/EasyCleaner_d414.html

Install it and run all the cleanup features of it and restart the computer and see if that fixes your problem(s)

 

Thanks, I already had EasyCleaner and ran it.
However, I fail to see what cleaning out will help the screensaver?

 

As I was afraid, the EasyCleaner didn't help.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
