If still its not working may be some registry error

Answer 3

Reboot not required. Make sure your PC is idle for the time specified. Look also in application event viewer. Maybe it's something wrong with the screensaver.

Answer 4

make sure there is nothing going on in the backround e.g. downloads, updates, virus scans, etc.

try setting it for 1 minute and see if it comes on, or time it to make sure u wait long enough

if u downloaded it off the internet like from freescreensavers.com or something then it probly will not work
