I just noticed today that I can't change the screensavers. The whole field is "disabled" so I can't click anything.

Does anyone know how to enable screensavers again?

Strange.

Did you do the install yoursself? and if so did you alter from the default install, possibly leaving something out of the install? Jarod, The Lab Guy

Nope, nothing. I've had this setup for a while but don't know what caused that to change. I might download a tweaking program or something and see if they have that setting.
 
May be turned off in the registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Look for this key
NoDispScrSavPage if present it should be 0
