I am using the 3D FlowerBox screensaver in Windows XP Pro. As soon as the 10
minutes are up and the screensaver is activated, the PC freezes. If I go into
properties and click on screensaver, the PC freezes. It is not the machine
because other users on the same PC using a different screensaver are fine
until we test this screensaver. I have started in safemode which allows the
screensaver to be changed but will obviously not save the change.
