Thanks Dinesh,
I might be doing some thing wrong. I followed your steps, but some how the screen saver did not kick in.

Can you please confirm if you are in Domain environment or Workgroup environment? if you are domain environment then login to any of DC's and create GPO using GPM console and apply it to OU where machine is present.(make sure no other machine is in that
OU). If you are workgroup environment then login to the Windows 7 PC with admin user account and open GPEDIT.MSC and apply above settings. And restart yourt machine and you should be good.
Thanks
