trying to make a screen saver in VB6

I have it done. When I run it, it shows up full screen and plays sounds just fine in VB6 design mode. I complied it as a .SCR and put it in Windows\system32 When I pick it from the Windows Desktop, Properties, screen savers, it runs just fine in preview mode too.
But when Windows times out and it loads a screen saver it just shows up as a minimize form, half way up the screen, the Sounds play Ok.
If I double click the form it only takes up a quarter of the screen.
Is this some Service Pack 2 issue trying to stop .scr files from running?
I’ve made screen savers in the past and they worked just fine.
