Screensaver drop down menu greyed out?
When one tries to change the Screensaver he or she can not change it as the Screensaver drop down menu is greyed out
Before doing this its my suggestion that you backup your registry by right clicking and selecting "Export" option on the registry which we want to delete.
This happens if the Screensaver policy is set either via group policy or registry.
To resolve this problem:-Start>Run>type Regedit >Click Ok or, press the Enter Key.
Now navigate to the following locations:-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop now find out SCRNSAVE.EXE entry in the right pane and delete it. Close the registry editor and restart the machine.
Hurray!!! its done... Now you can set your favorite screensaver for your desktop.
