    Mystify and other Screensaver not working


    Recently, I changed my OS from XP to Window 7 Professional. Since then screensavers such as mystify, bubbles, etc are not working. Whenever I set screensaver, it displays a movable message "The screensaver cannot run because it requires a newer video card or one that's compatible with Direct3D."

    Please note that when I was using window xp, there was no problem with Screensaver.

    How can I fix this?

Ok. I've just installed a screensaver for my laptop. But then when I select preview to see the screensaver, the screen is only black and nothing will come up. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but that does nothing.
Is it possible to change the Mystify background color from black to blue? Thanks, Bill
I am running win7 7000 x64 on a quad core intel box. Most things have been working great but I have been having one annoying problem, the screensaver won't start, and neither will the power saving settings (i.e. turning off monitor, computer sleep) Basically I am wondering if anyone else has...
