Suddeny got a Screen Saver

I have had my Mac about 2 months. It goes to sleep after about 10-15 minutes.

I have always had just a black screen when it did this and no screen saver.

Suddenly, 2 days ago, I started having this psychedelic colored screen saver pattern come on when the computer goes to sleep.

How do I get rid of this?

TIA for your help!!

Did you mean, when you are working on you computer and it suddenly goes to sleep?

Check if you have any hot corner shortcuts specified in System Preference > Expose & Spaces > Expose

Check for active screen corners has any of the corners with "Put Display to Sleep" option selected

No, it doesn't go to sleep when I am working on it...sorry for the confusion.

After I leave it and don't use it for 10-15 minutes, instead of it going to sleep and the screen staying just black like it always did, now there is this weird screen saver that appears and stays on until I go to use the computer again.

I don't have any hot corners set up at all.

Any help on how to get rid of a screen saver? I just want a black screen when it goes to sleep.

TIA

Sounds like you have 'Flurry' selected as your screen saver. Go into System Preferences > Desktop and Screen Saver > Screen Saver and make sure the 'Start screen saver' is switched to 'Never'.

Screen Savers are included in the OS Snow Leopard det up.

Thanks, it was switched for random at 22 minutes.

I changed it to "never" and that looks like it fixed it!
Thanks for your help!!
