Default Screen Saver Lock-Up

How do I re-install the screen saver function as mine locks up with Ignore /
Cancel options after being on awhile? K-base search has nothing on Lock-up.
Many Thanks

Try setting your screensaver to 'Blank Screen' and see if the problem
persists. If not, you may have a corrupted .scr file that you are trying to
use.
Heirloom, old and blank works for me

Sorry I didn't mention that all Screen Saver choices lock-up ultimately, so a
particular .scr file isn't the answer. Blank Screen doesn't cause a problem (
I currently put monitor to sleep after 30 minutes without screen saver use)
but I'd like to use the Screen saver feature. Guessing the whole app needs
re-install if that's possible.

I ditched the Screen Saver AND Wallpaper and have Found my System Resources
remain Much Higher. I don't miss either, really.
