The new screensaver option is resulting in multiple DFSSaver.scr in memory on Windows 7. This is a dual monitor system. It appears to be related to using the ScreenSaver Settings GUI...2 instances of DFSSaver.scr remain in memory for each time the Settings gui is used. You have to click on "Apply" for this to occur.

Can you let me know the steps to reproduce this issue, it doesn't seem to happen on my test machines. Also, can you add the "command line" column to task manager and take another screen shot? I'd be interested to see what parameters are being passed to DFSSaver.scr. Thanks!

This is occurring on my Windows 7 x86 Professional computer as well as on my Windows 7 x64 Professional computer each with dual monitors.

To create the problem:

1. Open the Screen Saver Settings window.

2. Click on Apply and OK at the bottom right of the window.

3. Close Settings window

On my dual monitor systems, 2 instances of DFSSaver.scr will stick in memory for each time I click on Apply and OK. Each of the 2 instances never exit and I have to remove each of them via End Process in the Task Manager.
