Bubbles screensaver has black background

Q

In Windows 7, the Bubbles screen saver created bubbles that moved over the top of whatever was on my screen at the time. In Windows 8, if I go to the screen saver settings and preview the Bubbles screensaver, it shows the same behavior â€“ bubbles moving over the top of my existing desktop. But when the Bubbles screensaver actually activates in Windows 8, the bubbles only appear over a background color which I selected. Is there something wrong with my settings or video drivers?

There is nothing wrong with your screensaver settings, or your video drivers and system. . A design change was made in Windows 8 that prevents screensavers from drawing over an image of the desktop. Any screensaver that previously drew over the desktop, such as Bubbles, will instead draw over a black background. The screensaver preview is incorrectly showing Windows 7 behavior.
