Windows 7 Screensaver GPO

i know there several questions this, checked first still having problem.

using windows 2008 domain, want force windows 7 pcs lock screensaver.

i have 4 settings set:
force specific screen saver - enabled, scrnsave.scr
password protect screen saver - enabled
prevent changing screen saver - enabled
screen saver timeout - 900 seconds

i have proven myself, policy getting pcs in question. behavior getting follows.

if right click on desktop and go personalize, screen saver on bottom right greyed out, , says none. screen saver never go on.
if turn third policy, prevent changing screen saver disabled, can see settings screen saver using. settings has correct, screensaver never starts. still says screen  saver - none, should screensaver - blank.

if take away policy above completely, manually change screen saver blank instead of none windows 7 has default. if reapply policy pc lock expected correct timeout , password requirements(except in rare wireless mouse problem pc) , when go personalize desktop screen saver says blank.

is there way can think of fix problem don't have go visit these machines?

hi,

how going? based on description, can try log off , log on again see if helps. if situation persist, may try alternate screensaver file see if works out.

best regards,
