Title: Problem with my screensaver
Post by: SunTigress on August 30, 2009, 09:42:29 AM
Ok, I realize some of you may read this and say, "what an idiot." but I have been spending hours trying to figure this out.

About a year ago, I got a huge virus on my computer. When I finally got rid of it, when I right click on my desktop to change my screensaver and such, I don't get those options anymore. I tried going through the control panel in the start menu. I've also looked everywhere on the microsoft webpage and can't find it. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem so I can actually have a screensaver again?

Try going to the "Display" section of your Control Panel.  This should be the same information.
