Please understand SillyDog701 Message Centre is still pretty much a technical discussion forum, except a few sections.

In technical discussion sections, you should be responsible for what you recommend. Re-install operating systems (e.g. Windows) or even re-formatting harddisk (harddrive) is always the last resort.

If you don't know a better suggestion or solution, please keep quiet. Straight telling people to re-install operating system or re-format harddisk is an irresponsible behaviour, and such act is not allowed.

Suggesting re-installing operating sytems or re-formatting harddisk should only be conducted when all possible solutions have tried and you are very sure re-installing is the only way to try.

Maybe suggesting that reinstalling is what you think the only way of doing it is?

If your car has some problems, do you just dump it and get a new car?

And you are telling me screensaver in Windows not working is as serious as "blowering oil out the exhast pipe" in cars?

Sure, you may burn the desktop image into your screen if you don't have screen savers.

And if your car stereo does not work, you have to get a new car, right?

This is not neccessarily true, modern monitors automatically power off after a certain period of time (By default on Windows XP Professional this is twenty minutes), thus eliminating the need for a screensaver, although most people still use one.

So whatever settings have been adjusted, the only suggestion you offer is to re-install?

They are not suck, they runs UNIX and of course native Mac application very well; they are not slow, the world's third fastest supercomputer is powered by Macs.

This is old, but I don't believe a word of that. There are many causes of a screensavers not working, such as a bad video driver. If you re-installed, who said you wouldn't accidently re-install the faulty video driver?
