Screensaver not working on PCG-GRZ615M

HI everyone,

I have a PCG-GRZ615M, and the screensaver does not initilize. The screen will flash three times, and then go back onto the open executible. Any ideas as to what is wrong??!

Which screensaver are you using and does it work using preview?
As a matter over interest try disabling you anti-virus software and see if it makes any difference.

I have tried a load of screensavers, and none work, but they do preview. I have stardust screen saver installed, and it says on sys start that it cannot load, it has encountered an error.

I disabled NAV and that did not work.

If they preview then it is likely to be a program loaded at start up that is preventing initialisation. I can only suggest that you try disabling start up programs (Start > Run > `msconfig¿ > Startup tab) one at a time, until you find the culprit.

Sorry rich912, I said that they do preview, they dont actually!!
I tried the msconfig, but with no effect.

Thats strange
Have you done a virus check Harry?

BTW long time no see, hope all is good?

BTW-Means what, forgive my ignorance!?

I am in the process of doing a virus scan, and i will see what comes up. It also takes a very very long time for me to spool a doc, but when the data is transferred, print speeds are normal. Do u think that these 2 are connected?

Yep Long time no see. That it true for sure, i have had a shedload of work, and have not been able to devote the time to the VAIO Forum! GCSE's are nxt yr, and so it is a bit frantic with courseworks etc.. Maybe i can post the odd post now and again...

I do hope that you all are in good keeping, and that you had a happy christmas and easter!

Harry, BTW = 'by the way'
Spooling speed could very well be connected to the problem. Good luck with the scan and the GCSE's next year:smileygood_luck:

Ahem, Time to stop said virus scan due to annoying housemaster telling me to go to bed! Geez, its earlier than usual!
I will redo the virus scan tomorrow.- BTW!!

Thank you rich for the good luck, GCSE's are a long way off yet though!

Oh and with the virus scans.
