    Windows 7 Screensaver won't invoke..

    ..wondering if it's a bug or if the power settings for this laptop need tweaking to get the screensaver to work. I have it set at "high performance" because it's most often plugged in. Screensaver is set to come on at 21 minutes of no use. "Standby" and all that is set to "never."
