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 :(
tried different vid drivers, searching knowledge base.... still waiting!!
i have tried to disable the dual monitor/extended desk top to see if that maybe the cause. it wasnt. glad to see that i am not the only one with this issue. although to some this may seem trivial, but for me, it is a part of W7 that is broken and i would like to have it fixed.
this coming weekend i will try to do a 'repair' function using the W7 dvd and will see how that works out.
null:
as for waiting for 2min to have this happen, no. for me it is over 2-4hrs later(im not constantly watching the monitors). guaranteed, the following morning though.
Same issue for me. The bubbles screensaver races very very fast. I'm also running Windows 7 64 bit - is this the issue?. Only needs normal two minutes setting for this to happen. Works ok in preview. Haven't yet tried an alternative screensaver.
i have switched screen savers and reverted back. still same issue. as a side note, i am running 2 monitors on an extended desk-top
