I have developed a screen saver in VB v6 which works very well with
most versions of Windows except XP home. The screen saver, and related
software and info, are downloadable at my web site at :

http://www.homestead.com/giannoni/sa18.html

For some unknown reason, in Windows XP home, when the screen saver
activates naturally, it becomes a minimized icon next to the Start
button, which will then yield an error when clicked.

Help and / or productive suggestions from anyone will be greatly
appreciated, & thanks ! ....

Hi Stephen,

You need to address this in a VB group. I would suspect it involves
permissions, but that's just a WAG.

I click any listed newsgroup at that site, and nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

You may need to set up an account for the new server msnews.microsoft.com -
the server is free and does not require you to logon. I don't know how to
do that in Forte Agent.
