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?
