  1. Bizarre screensaver error message


    I woke up this morning to my Mystic screensaver frozen and glitched, and an error message stating "There was an unspecified problem starting this screensaver. Your hardware might not be capable of running this software" in that exact syntax. Every few seconds, it fades away and reappears somewhere else on this screen. It also glitches slightly every second or so.I have never, ever gotten this error message in my 12 years of using Windows computers, and googling the words came up empty. Is this a real error, or should I be concerned? I've yet to disturb my computer in case it's not from Windo

    :)

    I did this"
    Search Results

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    • Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
    • Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
    • Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
    • Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.Bizarre screensaver error message :)

  3. Screensaver Issues After the Latest Update

    Hello,

    Outdated drivers can be a possible reason why you cannot exit your screensaver when you press the space bar. To better assist you, we need the answers to the following questions:

    • Do you receive any error messages when you are trying to exit the screensaver?
    • Have you tried updating your graphic's card driver?

    In the meantime, we suggest setting your screensaver to use images from the Photo app
    instead of the Windows Live Photo Gallery and see if the issue still persist. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

    • Click the Start button and type Settings
      on the search box. Click on the first option.
    • Select Personalization.
    • Click on Lock screen.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    Screensaver frozen

    Hi Jeana,

    There are multiple factors that we can consider why you're screensaver froze after the Windows 10 update.
    For us to isolate the issue, we will need to ask you a few questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Any other troubleshooting steps that you have tried so far aside from the ones that you've mentioned?
    • Can you possibly send us a screenshot?

    Regards.
