Help, Every time I powerdown and reboot, I lose my screen saver settings. It goes back to "none." I have selected, applied and "ok'ed." I know it has to be SOMETHING simple, but I cannot figure out, how to get my computer to keep my screen saver settings. It will keep other display settings (e.g., color). I notice it specifically with the screen saver.Interesting issue. What version of Windows are you running and are you running as the root ACCOUNT or the only account on the computer or is this a computer setup on a NETWORK with limited rights?I am running on windows xp, and I am the root account. I am not on a network. It is really weird. I also have an issue if a non-root acount registers onto a miscellaneous webpage. I cannot as a root account access the webpage when I register. It kicks me back to the login in screen every time. I am thinking they may be related somehow.Is it 3rd party screensaver, or Windows one?SOUNDS as if the Admin account has become corrupted...re-boot into safe MODE and recreate it.
You may as well rebuild the other accounts as well although i usually only do one at a time and re-boot after each to make sure things are running properly.Always make an extra Admin account and keep the password in a safe place. This way if anything ever goes wrong with your login profile, you can easily recover.

Just remember--if you delete an account, you may lose the documents of that user. The "My Documents" folder always points to the documents of the current user. I'd copy them off to another folder on the C: drive.

Also, you can always view the files of other users by navigating under "C:\Documents and Settings".

Good luck!
