Windows 95 Does Not Disable Third-Party Screen Savers |
Q131573
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:
- Use the right mouse button to click the desktop, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
- Click the Screen Saver tab.
- In the Screen Saver box, click None.
- Click OK.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows 95 Setup does not recognize or disable third-party screen saver applications.
