Hi mr mark, NET TOOB is a MPG player, Anfy does 3D graphics playback from certain websites. It is conceivable they could be involved though. DS

Hi mr mark, The mystery is solved. It was Net Toob. How I tracked it down was that I waited for the gorilla to come back. When it did, there was a very small copyright credit to "Duplexx Software". I searched for this company and guess what, they produce "Net Toob". I then looked at the Net Toob files. Previously, I was looking for .scr, .mpg, .jpg, .gif or any other familiar file types. It turns out they use *.m15, which is another explanation for the difficulty to track this. It seems the default setting for Net Toob is to activate a Screen Saver independently of the normal Windows utility. Adding to the confusion is that it did not work all the time, just somewhat erratically. Anyhow, I disconnected it, tested it and it seems OK now. Thanks for all the help, working together with you and the thread made it possible. Proof again that working in a team is always the best way and this thread enables exactly that to happen. Again, thanks for your patience and time. DS
