Change your screensaver to something you know.

I believe he had his screensaver set to 'none'.

The *windows* one. A add-on screensaver wouldn't show up in that. At least
ones with their own front end that don't just use the file type. That
would include any commercial ones to avoid a) undocumented windows code b)
limitations of the windows screensaver code.

If the extension exe was changed to exxx, they will not execute.
I was just curious.
Hopefully someone will get you the solution.
One of the links I read in Google mentioned something about using a
'process explorere' to see what was running and that may uncover what
process is running that causes the problem.
Sorry I can't give you more help.
Try googling more using 'spider on monitor' and 'insects on monitor'
etc.
Best of luck,
Buffalo

.... then it is strange and misleading that you chose to use these words
(from someone else) to help you describe your own problem.

name!!!

Jump on him!! infer he's inferior to you, like everybody else you

Just look in add/remove programs and see if *anything* listed has the word
"screen saver" in it's name. In addition try looking in startup - the most
likely place it's running from.

start->run msconfig<enter>

click on the tab marked startup and start looking for that exe file name
you mentioned.
