Try a different screen saver or none at all. I never run a screen saver anymore myself, as with Modern Computers you don't suffer from the problem of images burning into the monitor.

In the old days, the monitors used a phosphersent material in the displays and if an image sat too long in one place, it could damage the monitor. Newer technology has eliminated this problem.


I personally prefer a nice background with the icons arranged around the edges.

I have read what Brooks is saying, but I still see many PCs with a burn image on a monitor. Espeically on NT servers that we don't use a screensaver.

I personally use the Power Saving option which saves the screen and electricity. But nothing is perfect as sometimes you can have a problem with it as well.

The screen problem can be caused by using an older display, mouse, and/or audio adapter driver. I recommend you check the vendor's website for updated drivers. Also try using a very simple screensaver, such as blank screen.
