What does it mean?

So the problem is that the Screen-saver does not start, right?
Msirianno, can you run it buy pressing Preview button?
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.

No problem here with the screensaver launching...

Perhaps it is a combination of his screensaver/energy settings...

Let me explain with an example...

If you set your energy parameters to turn off your screen after lets say 10 mins and your screensaver to be switched on after 10 mins or later
then in simply will not be visible...because once you touch the kb or mouse the screensaver exits...

I could be wrong...but these are my 2 cents... :?

The screensaver starts after 10 minutes of idle time. On occassion it did not for whatever reason. I just got home from work... screensaver was running, the time was correct, but there was no update for 7 1/2 hours. The errors were the same as I sent you in the photos.

Maybe I should not use this as a screensaver then... really disappointing though, I like YoWindow a lot!

To make a long story short, I disabled Comodo firewall as suggested, but the screensaver problem still existed. I noticed today that I had a file running in task manager that shoudn't have been there; cmdagent.dll. This is the executable for Comodo Internet Security. Tried to delete out of task manager, and it would not let me. Could not even delete it out of the program files directory. It was infected with some sort of virus. Booted into my pc using ERD Commander Pro and deleted the file. Then deleted all instances of Comodo out of my registry. Got back into windows, started the YoWindow screensaver and was able to update with no errors!!!

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions and advice!

Hey Mike,

That is great news :!:
Good that you persisted in finding the problem, since everyone else got out of ideas.

Enjoy YoWindow and it's screensaver!

Fred
