Need Some Help Please (Display Properties)


Recommended Posts

Was wondering if anyone knows how to fix the following problem ?

When I go into my screensaver tab and try to preview the installed screensavers (WinXP or Plus!) ones it comes up with a comment in the screen of "No Preview Available".

Some of the base Windows one's will show the preview but most will not.

System Specs:

AMD XP 1600

iWill KA266-R

256 Meg DDR Ram

Voodoo 3 Video Card (I know it sucks)

WinXP (OS)

SoundBlaster Live 5.1

WD 4 Gig HDD

Quantum 40 Gig HDD

Is there a way to get all the preview's working? Also the complete display properties tab is slow in response, click apply and have to wait for a min or 2 before i can hit the ok tab ?

Is this a limitation of the Voodoo 3 video card ?

what screensaver do you select? is it one that comes default with windows or one you installed? and just because it says no preview available in the monitor thing doesnt mean you can't preview it, just hit the preview button and dont move your mouse and itll start. and about the 2min after hitting apply, not sure what thats about, but maybe defragging/cleaning out the drive may help

Woohoo klaxnek changing from 32bit to 16bit did the trick, all the screensavers are now viewable and the speed of the apply and okay buttons is also great now :)

Thank you.
