Suggest you check out this link...Windows XP: Set up your screen saver
Then, if it still doesn't work, let me know.

Good Luck...

To check your system files try this...
Place the XP Windows Install CD in the CD drive.
Go to the Accessories...Command Prompt
enter: sfc /scannow
There is a space between "c" and "/".
This could take from minutes to hours to run.
When test is complete, reboot.
