    Hello all,

    for some reason my pc has been freezing on the screen saver, like the screen saver will be up, but when I move the mice, nothing happens, and when I press the keyboard, still nothing. Im not sure why this is happening, but its annoying as hell, and I would like to fix this problem. anyone know why this could be happening? Im not sure if its a hardware problem, or software.

    Try updating your Video Card drivers.

    Are the screen savers running in D3D mode? Your video card should support Direct X so maybe you could check the card? :)
