For some reason every few days my screensaver moves from 10 minutes to 1 minute. At 1 minute it fails to turn on. I don't know what's going on....could it be a virus?

You could reset the registry setting to see if it fixes the problem.

Copy the following setting and save them in Notepad. Then save it in a file with a .reg file extension. e.g., ScreenSaverReset.reg
Then run it or manually set them using Regedit.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="600"
"ScreenSaveActive"="1"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"=dword:00000001
"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
