Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you meant Right Click on My Computer,
not My Documents

"All of my other screensavers (many have falling snow, running water, etc) 
work just fine.  Just the 3-D ones from this disk cause this particular 
problem."

That alone is enough to strongly hint that your system just doesn't have the

resources to run them full screen rendered.  My suggestion would be to Right

click on My Documents and select Properties.  Go to the Advanced tab and 
click on the Settings button in the Performance section.  Select Adjust for 
best performance and click Apply.  Without closing the Property sheet, try 
running the screensaver agian.  If it works this time, it means you'll need 
to upgrade your graphics in order to run these particular SS's reliably.  If

not, then something else is wrong (likely a bad registry entry associated 
with this set of SS's).  Either way, you can reset the Visual Effects back 
to where they were when you're done with this test.

Peace,
Gman
