All 3 screensavers are approximately 29 megs each and all 3 contain between 35-40 photos. So far this has happened only on one computer here. The computer it's happening on is the newest computer I have. It is only about 6 months old. The others are very old AMD (processor) computers which are about 4-5 years old. Also a friend recently told me that the same screensaver I'm having problems with is doing a strange thing on his. It will start running but the task bar at the bottom still appears (also an XP computer) and that his desktop icons actually show through the screensaver images, but he has no problems getting the screensaver to exit. My images are at 1024x768 as well as my desktop settings. I did notice one thing after the last time I had trouble getting the screensaver to exit (it took about 50-60 seconds to exit), I had a program running in a window, which I don't usually do when I run my screensavers. I generally close out all my programs except for my email program which I minimize to the taskbar. Hope this info helps. We are both beginning to think possibly it's a Windows feature (bug) rather than the screensaver itself. Generally I have no problems with any screensavers I make.
Thanks for your help
