Same thing happened to me. I don't know where the screen saver config/definition files are, so took the coward's way out:
  cd /usr/share/applications/screensavers
  cp molecule.desktop molecule.desktop01
  cp pipes.desktop molecule.desktop
  rebooted
Screen saver no longer hangs the system when it fires.

I had the same problem, and after going to "Browse and Run applications" then to "Edit Menus"
go down to "System/Preferences" on the right side scroll down and see that the "screensavers" is checked.
Once that is confirmed, just click the "Revert" button at the bottom and your done. This will set everything
back to defaults. Believe me it took me half a day to figure this out and I'm pretty good at this stuff. Duh!
