I just changed the screen saver delay on my machine and then sorted the
preferences files by last-modified date. The ones which were touched were
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
and then in a folder called ByHost
com.apple.screensaver...plist
com.apple.screensaver.slideshow...plist
I'm not sure what the ByHost folder is about but each file seems to have
some weird sequence of characters in the middle. So I'd try deleting
those three prefs and see if that helps.

Hi David? I'm assuming you've moved the slider in screen saver
preferences all the way to the right? This is the time slider, and
all the way to the right at 100 percent means off.
Assuming you've done this, have you tried using different user
accounts? If not, you might try that. If the problem stopps, then
you can conclude that you've got a corrupted preference file in your
local library. I'm not sure which one though, because there seem to
be a few that deal with the desktop.

Hi all,
I pressed and held option-p-r and my system restarted twice. ever since
then, I cannot get my screen saver to stop activating no matter how I
set
it.
this is on my powerbook g4 but that shouldn't make a difference. I
had this
fixed once, but nothing I remember how to do seems to put things back
the
way they were. Any suggestions?
