I am a standard level user on a computer running Win XP with a Pentium 4

I go to Control Panel / Appearances And Themes / Display, and then I go to 
the Screen Saver tab.

Of course, SETI @ Home is selected as my screensaver. I click on the 
Settings button, check the 'go to blank screen' box, and type in 5 for 
minutes. I click OK.

Now here's the problem: The computer does not recognize this new setting, 
and thus, the screensaver does not go to blank screen. 

There is an annoying added level of complexity to window such as the 
Screen Saver tab -- nothing is changed until the "Apply" button at the 
bottom is pressed.  Using the OK button to exit throwns all changes 
away.  The Apply button will be darkened if there have been no changes.

The <OK> button should do *almost*  the same as the <apply> button. At
least it does on mine.  <OK> applies the changes and closes the
requester.   <Apply> applies the changes and leaves the requester
window open so more changes can be made.
