On my HP notebook, I selected my screen saver for 3 minutes on my Window Vista.
I clicked ok than apply.

No screen saver to be found after 3 minutes. What am I missing here?

You always should click "Apply", then, "OK"

As a general rule, that's not true. There is an occasional exception,
but the general distinction between "OK" and "Apply" is that

1. "Apply" applies the change and leaves the dialog box open.

2. "OK" applies the change and closes the dialog box.

There is normally no requirement to click "Apply" before "OK." It
should make no difference.

It is your prerogative to disagree with me any time you want.
Nevertheless, I'll stand by what I say. It's the Windows standard. I
can't guarantee that every dialog box applies the standard properly,
but the vast majority do.

It's very easy to verify that what I say is correct. A little testing
on your part would demonstrate it.
