The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you try to return to the desktop after a Windows 95 screen saver has activated, the display may become garbled or unintelligible.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if both a third-party screen saver and a Windows 95 screen saver are running on your computer at the same time.

RESOLUTION
Use either the third-party screen saver or the Windows 95 screen saver, but not both.

To use the Windows 95 screen saver, disable the entry that starts the third- party screen saver in the WIN.INI file. Typically, third-party screen savers are loaded from the "Load=" or "Run=" line in the WIN.INI file. Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the WIN.INI file and remove the portion of the "Load=" or "Run=" line that loads the third-party screen saver application.

To use the third-party screen saver, follow these steps:


 * 1) Use the right mouse button to click the desktop, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
 * 2) Click the Screen Saver tab.
 * 3) In the Screen Saver box, click None.
 * 4) Click OK.

MORE INFORMATION
Windows 95 Setup does not recognize or disable third-party screen saver applications.
