SYMPTOMS

When your Windows 98-based computer begins displaying a screen saver, you may notice that it is not the screen saver you selected.

This problem can occur if your Windows 98-based computer has two or more user profiles. If the screen saver is changed during a session in one user profile, that user profile overwrites the previous screen saver selection in another user profile.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 98.
