Screensaver-Windows Vista.

My screensaver does not work if i use a optical wireless mouse. I have tried
two of them and neither one works.
I have updated the drivers and downloaded the patch. Still nothing.
I can find no other support from Microsoft.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I don't remember if the newest drivers are supposed to fix the problem, but
that is/was a well know problem. I do believe that it has been fixed
though.

You didn't mention exactly what brand/model, but I assume you mean a
microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse...

Hi hamdus900,

Try this and see if it will help:
1. Open Device Manager.
2. Right click on your optical mouse device and click Properties.
3. Click on the "Power Management" tab.
4. Uncheck "Allow this device to wake up the computer"
5. Click OK to apply.

If it works, you'll have to use the keyboard to bring the computer out
of Screen Saver and from Sleep.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I tried brink's suggestion but it didn't work. I did the following which
worked (but will only work if you had previously installed the "HID Non-User
Input Data Filter": If this filter wasn't installed yet then skip to step 5.

1. Open Device Manager.
2. Under Human Interface Devices category , right click and uninstall the
"HID Non-User Input Data Filter". You should only have the "USB Human
Interface Device" listed.
3. Right click on the category of Human Interface Devices and click Scan for
Hardware Changes.
4. A second option will pop up.
5. Update the driver for the non-USB option and it will reinstall the "HID
Non-User Input Data Filter".

Hello,
How do you install the HID Filter. I updated the driver but got nothing.
Thanks
