Seeing as how this seems to be a computer related thread,
I need help with my laptop settings.

I just bought a new laptop with vista home.

I can’t make the screen saver engage. I’ve done all of the
select, apply, OK deals.

I’ve reset the timer to several different settings, and
it still refuses to engage the screen saver.

HELP, I’m going nucking futz here...

“I can’t make the screen saver engage. I’ve done all of the
select, apply, OK deals.”

Easy just delete the preference folder and settings folder.... oh sorry, that is the standard Apple repair for every thing.

Now on to Vista... If you go to ‘Computer\C:\Windows\System32\’ Sort by Type & scroll down to the Screensavers. Select & then Right Click on the Screensavers you want to Run. Highlight ‘Send to’ & Click on ‘Desktop (Create Shortcut)’. You can now run the Screensavers manually until a proper solution is found.

Good luck

This is gonna sound stupid but every time I’ve seen this and there wasn’t a goof in settings at some point, it was a screwy mouse. In your case, could the touchpad be flakey?
