Thks,Bob, for your prompt and detailed reply to my query about the screensaver.

Believe it or not, I chanced upon an easy way of re-activating the screensaver by just holding back my wireless mouse (bluetooth) away from the computer monitor. SOMEHOW, THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

However, I am keeping your suggestions for reference in case I shall need them later on.

YOUR HELP IS ESPECIALLY APPRECIATED AS THE COMPUTER HAS BECOME MY WINDOW ON THE WORLD, MY LIFELINE ALMOST, AND I GET DEPRESSED WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH IT THAT I AM UNABLE TO ADJUST.

Thank you again and kind regards.
