SYMPTOMS
========

After you select a screen saver and click the Preview button, if you immediately
move the mouse, the following things may occur:

- The screen saver preview disappears.

- The screen saver Preview button does not function.

- The screen saver sample is not animated.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, close the Display Properties dialog box by clicking
the OK or the Cancel button, and then open the Display Properties dialog box
again. Note that switching to another tab in the Display Properties dialog box
and then back to the Screen Saver tab does not correct the problem.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
