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 :(

    Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.  The same thing happens to me.  I also have a list of 10 or so other "strange" things that happen, like going to the desk top screen on it's own, my home page has changed, my locked screen picture has changed on it's own etc....I have McAfee installed but keep getting a message that my subscription has expired!  Are these things all connected to windows 8 I wonder? I think I should have stayed with windows XP.

    I don't know why the website has listed this as the "ANSWER", when it's not. This is a link to a mod for the screen saver which, while cute, does NOT fix the problem.

    Microsoft? A little help with your product? Anyone there?  ;)
