Screensaver fails to start #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install and configure screensaver
2. Log in with standard user privileges, or start computer without logging in
3. Lock screen [Win] + L
4. Wait for screensaver to start

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect the screensaver to start, but it does not. Sometimes it will meerely 
flash a white image, and then return to the lock screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version as of 2013-04-12
Windows 7 Professional

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems the only time the screensaver will function correctly is when there is 
only only one user logged in, and that user has admin privileges.

When i test my screensaver after installing it, it works for http://google.fr , 
it does not work for http://world.deviantart.com/

I guess this issues are related

I have the same issue: white screen flashes then screen saver turns off.  Tried 
setting google.com as the webpage to be display...webpage loaded for split 
second then turns off.  Other screensavers stay on.  Running XP.

I have the same issue that dkburn has. White screen flash lasting .25 of a 
second, followed by the screen saver turning off. I'm running XP Pro. The same 
app works perfectly on my Win8 box.

I ended up finding another one that works with XP Pro.  Try this one:

I am using it to automatically bring up a full screen weather radar (weather 
underground).  Works pretty well.

Now to figure out how to activate it with a hotkey......currently it opens into 
notepad rather than activating the screensaver.
