How can Vista still have the blank screensaver if it doesn't have a BLANK.SCR file in the c:\windows\system32 folder?

Hello OmegaWolf,

That blank screen saver would be C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr instead. ;)

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you so very much. I don't see why MS had to rename it, but whatever.

You're welcome OmegaWolf. I'm not sure why they did either.
