Screen Saver and GPF in GDI.EXE

Occasionally when the screen saver (MS Plus!, Win95) comes on, I get a "screen saver name caused a GPF in GDI.exe @0001:00000210. I've tried reloading MS Plus! and restoring my GDI.exe file from my backup. Any ideas? Thanks.

To little memory... I had to remove some icons on my desktop, and my screensaver so that GPF in GDI.exe disappeared

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I have just the minimum number of icons showing on my desktop and haven't had this crop up until just recently.... about the only program I've installed within the last few weeks is the Worldbook Encyclodepia, however, I don't launch it as part of my startup. Thanks for the input.

I am running Johnny Castaway and I received the same error. I have a 450 pentium 128meg 10gig hard drive. Can't figure out what is causing the problem. Only get this error when running the Johnny Castaway. I will try to remove some icons from my desktop. Are there any other suggestions?
