No Screensaver on Vista x64

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 22:47 — swensonator
I saw one or two other posts about this problem, but they both simply said "uninstall and re-install". I've done that and still have the problem, so I'm looking to see if anyone has any other suggestions. The last three versions of ES haven't run properly as a screensaver, and by "properly" I mean "not at all". I can manually open the settings and push "Run", which results in the windowed version of electric sheep running. I can also go into my screensaver menu and see the screensaver running (in the little preview window that windows provides for you), but if I actually push the "Preview" button the screen flickers and nothing happens (the little windows preview restarts with a different sheep). Also, I can let my computer sit for as long as I want and the screensaver never starts (works fine with any other screensaver I select). Anyone seen this problem? Suggestions? Thanks.

the problem with vista 64 was

the problem with vista 64 was fixed in b26 by including the DX installer.

did you check if you have the latest drivers? what is your GPU?

what happens if you run it in a window and then press 'f'? what happens if you turn on Direct Draw mode?

I have a NVIDIA 9800 GTX+

I have a NVIDIA 9800 GTX+ running the latest (195.xx) drivers. The screensaver worked up until a few electric sheep versions ago, but even if I roll back to the previous version that did work I get the same result. (This makes me think that it is something unrelated to ES itself, but I can't for the life of me figure out what.) Running in Direct Draw mode doesn't make a difference. I can run it in a window (from the ES settings window) and then hit 'f' for fullscreen, so it seems like it has something to do with the call windows is making to ES as a screensaver. It is specific to ES, though. Like I said in my original post, all the other screensavers work fine.

The part that confuses me is that ES worked up until I upgraded from a previous version, and that it still doesn't work even if I uninstall and reinstall the previous version that worked (I'm pretty sure it was 2.7b22 or 2.7b21, I've tried both). Are there any files that don't get deleted when I do an uninstall? Maybe there is a corrupt file that never gets fixed during an uninstall/re-install (just thinking out loud here).

sounds pretty weird. can you turn on debug logging, reproduce the problem, and then send the results to us? thanks.

So I turned on debugging, hit

So I turned on debugging, hit the "preview" button a few times, then let my computer sit and let it attempt to start the screen saver. I cut out what looks to be one or two failed attempts at trying to start the screensaver (didn't want to post the entire log file):

Looks like there are a couple error entries regarding Directx9 devices.

Thanks.

the graphics chip its talking

the graphics chip its talking to is not the the 9800GTX. in the advanced settings, what is your monitor number? can you try changing that to several values (0, 1, 2)?

That did the trick. Changing

That did the trick. Changing the monitor number to 1 fixed the problem.

I do have my TV (s-video out) connected to the computer, with windows recognizing the monitor as the primary (1) and the tv as the secondary (2) display. Normally the tv isn't activated in my display settings, but once I activated it, ES had no problem starting the screensaver on my tv. For some reason the windows primary/secondary relationship isn't reflected in ES (I assume monitor value 0 in the advanced settings is supposed to be the primary display, correct?).

Thanks for the help.
