I've seen stuff like this happen with the Open_GL of a video driver gets corrupted. If you redownload your video drivers and re-install them, it should fix your Open_GL problems and allow you to view the screensaver.
If you still want to get rid of it, you'll need to find the screensaver in your Windows/System32 folder and delete it. Then you'll have to set your screen saver to something different and apply all the changes. After doing all of that, it doesn't hurt to restart your computer (just as a safety procaution). Now just wait and see what happens.

they could be a virus on your computer or you could have always clicked cancel by mistake instead of ok and changed some settings

screensavers are notorious for containing viruses .. run a good scanner and then try to locate it in system32 and delete it ..
