Unable to change screen saver

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi. I am not really a new user of Windows, but felt this would be the
appropriate place to post it. Problem is, I am not able to change the screen
saver on my machine. The screen saver tab has the dropdown list for the
screen savers, as well as the wait period disabled. What might be the problem?

How do I know if any such thing is in place?

Thanks Rick. It is a company machine and there IS a group policy in place.
