Just recently installed Windows 7 and I am unable to set a screensaver. When I go to personalize -> Screensaver the dropdown to select a screensaver is greyed out and I am unable to set one.
I also have Win 7 installed on my laptop and do not have this issue. Has anyone run into any video driver issues that have caused this or similar issues? I have a relatively high end video card from Nvidia and just used the drivers that were put in as part of the OS install.
I've tried adjusting the power setting times based on a "similar" reported issue but didn't get any different behavior. I also tried modifying some of the system policies in gpedit - User config - Admin setting - control panel - personalization and enabling screensaver explicitly but still no screensaver options.
**another note, all Aero effects are working with no issues.
I have downloaded the latest from Nvidia's site and am trying that tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone has had any similar experiences. I'll update with my results, but if anyone has any other ideas before I do this I'm all ears.
Thanks
