I browsed through the "Screensaver" posts before even joining the Forums and didn't find my particular issue.
I purchased a "used" HP Compaq 6200 with Windows 7 Pro installed. If other information about this machine is needed, I'll need steps on how to find it within the software as there is...

I found this liitle app to give the bubbles screen saver some options. I tested this and it works in X86 build 7100.

Enjoy!
On my 3.2 Ghz desktop, Windows 7 RC, when the Bubbles Screen Saver kicks in, the desktop clocks/displays quit updating, they do update when the screen saver is de-activated.
Is this a normal/expected situation?
