"Hot Corner" Features Do Not Work in Windows 98 (189689)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 98
  • Microsoft Plus! 98
  • Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q189689

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to use the "hot corner" features to activate your screen saver by moving your mouse pointer to a corner of your desktop in Windows 98, your screen saver does not start.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the "hot corner" features in Plus! for Windows 95 and Plus! 98 do not work correctly unless the System Agent program is running. System Agent is not running because Windows 98 Setup replaces System Agent with Task Scheduler.
