Hot Corners for Screen Saver, not working.

Hello.

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3.

The 'Hot Corners' to activate the screen saver, manually, does not work.

The computer has all available updates installed.

Since this is a brand new Mac, out of the box, and this feature is not working, either, it is a bug, or I am doing something wrong (which I doubt since it is a very straight forward feature).

Any assistance would be appreciated (including telling me that this is a known issue and that it will be fixed in the next update).

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Less than 2 weeks old.

Hi, Nagafugi

Had the same problem and here's what worked for me:

Navigate to System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver/ and click the Hot Corners button.

I generally set the bottom left corner to Start Screen Saver, with all of the other corners set to minus. I temporarily set the top left corner to Disable Screen Saver, and after moving the mouse pointer into that corner, I was then able to use my bottom left corner again to start my screen saver.

I put the top left corner back to minus.

Simple enough and good luck!
