This article was previously published under Q182359 SYMPTOMS
Your screen saver may not start when it is scheduled to do so.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Microsoft Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook
98 Internet Mail Only installation is configured to automatically
check for new messages in a period of time that is shorter than the period
of time that the screen saver is configured to start. For example, this
behavior can occur if Outlook Express or Outlook is configured to
automatically check for new messages after 5 minutes, and the screen saver
is configured to start after 10 minutes.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, configure the screen saver to start in a period
of time that is shorter than the period of time that Outlook Express or
Outlook is configured to automatically check for new messages. To do so,
use the following steps:
- Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then
double-click Display.
- Click the Screen Saver tab, and then decrease the number of minutes in
the Wait box to a number lower than the period of time that Outlook
Express is configured to automatically check for new messages.
- Click OK.
