  • Well this certainly is a different one which I haven't heard before!!!!

    Since when did you notice that this was happening? After the system restore? Was everything fine before the system restore? Have you tried restoring again to maybe a different point?

    Also have you ever downloaded/installed external 3rd party screensaver software?

    Finally have you recently had any viruses/worms that type of thing.. and do you have a reliable virus scanner and adware remover?

    just a few things there for u to check =)
