Screensaver issues

from Stardock Forums
So I just started using the free version of objectdock, works great and everything, the only problem I am having at the moment is getting my screensaver to run with it. The screensaver won't turn on or anything, I go to test it by previewing it, it starts for a split second and then goes back to my desktop. The only thing I can guess that is doing this is something with objectdock. Anyone else have this issue? Can anyone please give some advice?

Is this with all screensavers, or one particular one (and if so which one)?

Yeah I just checked that, its with one screensaver it looks like. Its called the Matrix Green Screen, its basically the matrix code from the movie, i've used it fine for years. I haven't been able to find a link for the screen saver, I haven't found it online for years, I got it when the first one came out.

I'm thinking that it has something to do with the objectdock always having space available to see it or whatever you want to call it. Because when I start the screensaver you can tell its not filling up the screen like it should because objectdock is there.

Those all work, but I don't know, I"ll have to find this screensaver somewhere or upload it somewhere so you can see what i'm talking about, this screensaver I have is the best one i've ever seen, so this is why i'm kind of adament about using it.

It might have something else to do with my computer, not sure though, i uninstalled objectdock and then restarted and tried, worked for a couple seconds longer then quit. I'm not sure what happened, it was working fine all up til I installed objectdock this morning.

Edit: Alright, finally found it! Downloaded it again, still same problem. But here it is for the rest of you, I think this is the best one out there. http://www.themeworld.com/cgi-bin/preview.pl/savers/matrix.zip
I Don't know how to put links in this forum, so just copy paste then download it.

the one you have, is it listed in display properties, screensaver? and does it have any info under settings?

Yeah, thats how it works, there is'nt any info under the settings though, just settings for the screensaver itself, nothing that helps fix it though.
