Would have been helpful if ednlible told us.

I did some 2min research and found this site Here . This "mod" doesnt really change the settings for the speed but it does allow you to tweak some other stuff for the bubbles screensaver. Just have a mess with some of the settings and see how things go from there. Sorry if this sounds vague but its all i can think up of right now - better than nothing i guess. M$ really does need to fix this, theyve nothing for ages now :(

    Hello, I am not an expert in any way but thought this might be helpful.  I was looking for a way to change the settings on my Wen7 Bubbles screensaver and found this site that shows how.  Perhaps it would work to fix your problem.  Good luck to you.

    I just experimented with a brand new PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. It does the same thing using the Bubbles screen saver after about 1 hour. I hope enough people report this to warrant a patch down the road. It is the only screen saver I actually enjoy.
