screensavers not starting

Whichever screensaver that I choose to use, it fails to start. Two additional
points:

[1] the screensaver used to work - I've had my new pc since Feb - but it
stopped working about 2 weeks ago

[2] I've noticed that if I lock the pc (CTRL+ALT+DEL, Lock Computer) then
the screensaver will start in that mode, however as soon as I unlock and
return to the Vista desktop, then it fails to kick in
