It seems to have problems with some of the newer operating systems. Sometimes setting it to run as administrator will help, I think.

Grammarshine - I realize this. However, the "run as administrator" solution tends to be the solution for a great many problems with the client's failure to run, and can thus be applied to more than screenshot issues. That post simply happens to have the best illustration of the solution which most permanently fixes the problem and doesn't involve right clicking the icon and selecting the "run as administrator" option every time you want to play.

From what I've seen and experienced, the screensaver isn't 'playing nice' with 64-bit computers (Windows 7/8/ect and so forth)... The same happens to me every time I try to set it as a screensaver, regardless of whether or not I run as admin. So you're not alone with the problem! As for help, I think it'd probably be something the creators would focus on when, and if, they ever have the time and money.
