I have a brand new computer with Vista installed
I really enjoyed my screen saver on XP but even though the preview shows up
fine, the screen saver does not kick in on my notebook.
Does anyone have the same problem? Have you solved it?

If you have a brand new computer, and it doesn't work as you believe that it
should, complain to the computer manufacturer..

I bought a Vista computer, laptop, and absolutely love it. I did not go
cheap, but bought as much power as I could afford. Got an HP dv6000. It is
over a year old now so not as fast and powerful as the newer ones. My old
computer is an XP machine updated from Windows 98 SE. I liked XP and didn't
want Vista but that is all I could get. I love it.
Vista needs a lot of space. Go back to the computer seller. If you bought
it from an independent seller, make sure it is not an updated Vista over top
of XP. Not a good thing to put Vista on old hardware. If a brand name,
make them fix it.

It is the computer PLUS pre-installed operating system that you bought, and
it is not working as it should. Complain to the vendor/manufacturer..
