selected may not consistently activate at the time specified in Display
properties.

Registry entries may not be properly updated when a screen saver is
selected in a specific user's profile when no screen saver is selected in
the default profile.

Activate the screen saver in the default user profile. To do this, follow
these steps:
| 1. | Restart the computer.
|
| 2. | When you are prompted to log in, click Cancel. This logs you in as
the default user.
NOTE: If no login screen appears, you have chosen to use a blank
password. You must rename your password list file (<username>.pwl)
in the Windows folder and then restart Windows 95.
NOTE: If you are using a personal certificate, you should export it
before renaming your .pwl file. If you do not do so, it may be unavailable
when you send e-mail. For more information, see the following article in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

| 6. | Click OK.
|
| 7. | Restart the computer. Log in normally. |
