Thanks. I'm running OS X 10.5.5. The sleep settings are set to put the display to sleep after 30 minutes. The screen saver is the old flying toasters. Never had a problem with it before, but perhaps that was it. Oh, how do I reset OS X back to factory settings? Perhaps that would help. Other than that, I can re-install OS X, but that's a pain.
