Screensaver

Since uprading to Vista RC screensaver doesn't work and neither does power
settings for my laptop such as turn off display after 20 min. Any ideas?

Got a wireless mouse attached? They seem to be causing these problems,
especially the MS Laser Mouse 6000.

yes a M.S. Wireless Notebook Optical 3000. Think I'll pull the USB reciever
out and see what happens. Thanks

Hello Steven,

you wrote "That was it" - have you found a solution or changed your mouse?
It seems that many people have this problem - but the only solutions seems to
be a new (or old) cable mouse - what a world.

I just pull the wireless receiver out of the USB port when I'm not going to
be using the PC for awhile and everything works fine.

And the report I got back from MS on this was... case closed - resolution -
not going to fix.
