Problem with FAH Screensaver

Post by leny »

Hello everyone, first time poster here. :)

To the point: When the screensaver comes on the first time after configuring it, it's fine. However, from the second time on when the screensaver is activated, all I get is the two circles in the bottom left hand corner, and the protein model. Why is this? What is/has gone wrong?

Thanks,
leny

I'm having another problem as well: When I move my mouse and make the screensaver disappear, while the majority of the screen goes back to normal, the bottom of the page (where the start button is) still has remains of the screensaver showing.
This is a newer computer, and I don't know why this would be happening. I had no problems on my old one, which would have been in use for about 6-7 years.

I use Windows XP, and I did on the other computer as well. :)

The artifacts left from the screensaver when it has closed sounds like a graphics driver problem. Try updating your graphics driver.
