O.P. Bug when using Vista! MPL's alerts are disabling Windows Vista screen savers!
Hi there!
I don't know if this is happening just here, but here is the bug. In fact, it's pretty simple.
If you enable Events Alerts, Windows Vista will erase the screen saver timer. Imagine you configured 10 minutes to screen saver appears, and than when just 2 minutes remain to enable it, if any Event Alert is shown, this "timer" will be back to 10 minutes again!
Something is causing Windows Vista to "think" that the Event Alert is and action sufficient to restore the timer limit of the screen saver (like a mouse movement).
So, on this way, if you use 10, 15, 20... minutes, you will never get screen saver, as this time is so long and surely will be any Event Alert before Windows Vista reaches these 10, 15, 20... minutes!
Anyone can inform if this is a real bug or just a problem here?!
