Screen Saver in Background

Question

I made a simple apple script program to put the screensaver in the backgroud.
The code is:
display dialog "Start the Matrix:" buttons {"ON", "OFF"} default button 1
copy the result as list to {buttonpressed}
try
          if the buttonpressed is "ON" then
                    do shell script "/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.a pp/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &> /dev/null &"
          else if the buttonpressed is "OFF" then
                    tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit
          end if
end try
All the program does is run a shell script that I heard of from a friend.
I made it at school on a snowleopard computer.
When I took it home and ran it on a Lion computer it worked, but when I changed the Desktop it shut off.
I am wondering if I can resolve this situation.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Sounds like it needs it's preferences reset.
In Finder choose Go>Go To Folder. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
Click go.
Drag the com.apple.screensaver.plist to your desktop.
Log out and back in and test.
If solved delete from desktop.
Hope this helps.
