Solve : screensaver freeze?

Answer»

Just recently my screensaver is freezing when I try to restore my desktop. Eventually the cursor comes back but moves very erratic. I TRIED leaving it sit for awhile but never seems to recover. My only recourse is to REBOOT. Any suggestions would be greatly APPRECIATED.
