Re: Screen goes white
If you're using Windoze XP, the easy way to check if you have auto-updates would be to go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Security Center. From there you can view the status of your auto-updates.
To be honest, the first thing that pops to mind is that you're using a new screen saver that's trying to access a resolution that's not supported by your monitor. Not what I'd typically expect it to do as a result of that, but it could be possible.
The reason I bring up updates is that if perhaps Windows saw it as necessary to update your graphics driver, it could have installed something that was less than compatible.
On the other hand, if you haven't updated anything, it may be time to so do. If you're using a less than legit copy of XP, you can get around the ever intrusive Genuine Advantage thinger via Microsoft's own auto-updater. I'll not get into that here for obvious reasons, but it's a pretty simple trick.
