screen saver not working

I've been trying for over a week now to find out why my screen saver wouldn't
start after the set time. After reading all the suggestions I've realised
it's only after I started using a wireless mouse that the problem originated.
Unplugging from the USB port the fault was cleared but I haven't as yet tried
to contact Microsoft about the problem due to other reports about the cost.

Hi Mac2,

Take a look at these two links to see if they may help you with this.

'The screen saver does not start after you install a wireless pointing
device' (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913405)


'The screen saver does not work when you use a Microsoft wireless
pointing device on a Windows Vista-based computer'
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911895)
