SYMPTOMS
A screen saver does not start on a window that continually changes its text. SetWindowText() is called, or a WM_SETTEXT message is sent to a window to change its text.
CAUSE
When calling SetWindowText() or sending (or posting) a WM_SETTEXT message, a WM_MOUSEMOVE message is also generated to the window, even though the mouse did not really move. This WM_MOUSEMOVE message prevents the screen saver from starting.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
