Margaret, wouldn't it be easier to change the screensaver before doing the system restore?

I agree with S R S,a system restore is the last thing as an option ,and may open up a can of worms to the unwary, Fred

did it come up with something like save/use as screensaver when you scanned it in? Perhaps you clicked yes by mistake,
