Fed up with screensaver not working

Ok, I've had this problem on this computer for quite a while now, and I think I've mentioned it once before in this forum, but I'm finally irritated with having to work around it and would like to get it working properly.

My computer uses Win XP Pro, and no matter how many times I've set the screensaver, changed its delay and settings, and changed the type of screensaver, it never kicks on by itself. I can get it to start a preview for any of them, but no matter how long or short I set it none of them start in any other way.

I'd like to just get a blank screen to pop up after 5-10 minutes at the least. I can't honestly ever recall if screensaver ever worked on this system in the first place.

I've had this problem before, is there anything running that might screw with it, like DiVX?

Nope. It still doesn't go to screensaver even without active programs and things of that sort running.
