  1. Is this a Windows screensaver or one you downloaded? Try a different one and see if it still happens. You also might try turning the screensaver off and see if that makes a difference. I personally don't use one, I just turn my monitor off. Have you downloaded any new programs recently? Also, what do you have your power options set at?

  2. Greetings to all the Windows Wizards of Besttechie! I recently had a total harddrive failure and replaced it with a new one I reloaded with the Sony recovery disks,loaded service pack 2 and norton ant-virus I downloaded and installed all Microsoft updates for XP Here's the problem,after exended idle time(overnight) when I try to to get back on it takes a long time to come off screensaver and go to the welcome page( five minutes plus) After the welcome screen another five minutes to desktop. Everything is extremely slow to open if at all If I shut down (even this takes awhile) and reboot it loads and runs like a new machine! Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated P.S. operating system is XP home
