Screensaver won't come on

The screensaver won't come on. I've checked the
settings,and the preview comes on okay. I've recently
installed a new video card as well as Doom 3, and I've
adjusted the screen resolution accordingly, but
otherwise, there have been no drastic changes to the
computer. Is there a maximum screen resolution before
the screensaver won't work, or might there be something
else I've done to disable the screensaver from
automatically cutting on?

Please look at the date of the post you replied to. Although if this person was sitting at their computer for 6 years waiting for this, you just made them very happy.

I was hoping someone googling this problem might find this
