    MY PROBLEM IS THAT THREE OF THE SCREENSAVERS THAT COME WITH WIN XP HAVE BENG DELETE. THE THREE ARE 3D PIPES,
    3D FLOWER BOX AND 3D FLYING OBJECTS. I DO NOT KNOW HOW THERE WERE DELETED BECAUSE I DID NOT DELETE THEM.
    IF YOU GO TO DISPLAY PROPETIES AND SELECT ANYONE OF THESE
    SCREENSAVERS WIN XP FREEZES AND I HAVE TO REBOOT SYSTEM
    I HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER SCREENSAVERS ON MY COMPUTER
    BUT ALL OF THESES ARE WORKING CORRRECTLY. CAN ANYBODY
    ASSIST ME WITH THIS PROBLEM.

    TREVOR

    Easiest thing to do would be to find out the directory the screen savers are in. Probably something like the Windows/system32 folder. I'm in front of a 2K machine at present. but it will be close, and extract the corrupted/missing saver files from the XP disk. They will have a file extension of .scr

    BTW you may be prompted to overwrite the existing scr files if they are still there in a corrupted form when you copy the fresh copies.
