For some reason my screensaver keeps coming on... but I have it set to "never" in the system prefs... It just started doing that today. Anybody know what's going on?

You positive you don't have any "Hot Corners" set up?

Nothing wonky in "Exposé" settings?

Have you restarted and to see if the problem persists?

Try searching for .plist files in ~/library/preferences for anything with "screensaver" in it and delete them.

I had a marine aquarium .plist file that I just trashed and rebooted after... had to put my serial # back in... no biggie... I'll wait and see what happens from here.

No funky expose settings... everything's standard
