We have a new laptop in the office (Sony Viao) and this is the deal:

when I click on Control Panel, Display, there is no tab
for screen saver. The other tabs are there: Themes,
Desktop, Appearance, Settings
But No Screen Saver Tab.
Am running Windows XP on a brand new laptop. How can I
change the screensaver?

We have other Viao and none of them seem to have this particular issue.......

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks ya'll

I am not sure why this would happen, but you can limit access to certain items using XP's built-in policy tool.

Check this setting:

Click Start / Run
Type in: gpedit.msc Press [enter]

Browse to User Configuration / Control Panel / Display / Hide Screen Saver Tab

This allows you to hide the screen saver tab. Perhaps your computer administrator did this for a reason, or perhaps it is just a glitch.

Thanks - I'll let you know if this doesn't work out for me.
