SYMPTOMS

After you select a screen saver and click the Preview button, if you immediately move the mouse, the following things may occur:
  • The screen saver preview disappears.
  • The screen saver Preview button does not function.
  • The screen saver sample is not animated.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, close the Display Properties dialog box by clicking the OK or the Cancel button, and then open the Display Properties dialog box again. Note that switching to another tab in the Display Properties dialog box and then back to the Screen Saver tab does not correct the problem.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
