The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If Idlewild is running under Windows version 3.1, you are unable to test the
Idlewild screen saver from Control Panel's Desktop. When you choose the Test
button, instead of running the screen saver, the screen goes blank.

CAUSE
=====

For the screen saver selections in the Desktop dialog box to work correctly,
Idlewild must be disabled.

NOTE: This only happens with the Idlewild screen saver selections. The screen
savers that come with Windows 3.1 work correctly.

WORKAROUND
==========

To disable Idlewild, delete IDLEWILD.EXE from the LOAD= line in the WIN.INI
file.
