Screen Savers on OSR 2.1 machines
All current MS products that are shipped with OSR 2.1, come with some
extra 3D screen savers and ScreenScan in the Display Properties.
It has been noticed that when ScreenScan is enabled, it accesses the
floppy drive when a screen saver is activated. This causes the new 3D screen savers to
deactivate straight away. However, if left, the screen saver will activate after
approximately 5 attempts.
The only solutions are to either disable ScreenScan or to select a
non-3D screen saver.
Below is the list of pre-installed screen savers and whether they are
affected.
