This article was previously published under Q139719 SYMPTOMS
When you are running Windows 95 with a 16-color palette, the "Science" and
"60's USA" screen savers included with Microsoft Plus! do not work in
normal or preview mode. When you use these screen savers, the "Rendering
lens" message does not appear and the screen saver is not visible. However,
when you interrupt the screen saver, the screen is redrawn as if the screen
saver were running.
The other screen savers included with Microsoft Plus! work normally in
16-color mode.
CAUSE

steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click the Display icon.
- On the Settings tab, change the Color Palette settings from 16 to
256 or greater.
- Click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! version
1.0 for Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
