Screensaver Won't start

I just rebuilt my computer and installed Vista on it. Everything was working
fine until I installed the MS Optical Wireless Mouse 2000. Now my
screensaver won't start. I've done all of the updates including the
"Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data Filter". My screensaver still won't
start. Anyone have any ideas? The hardware configuration is an ASUS
motherboard, 2 gig memory, Nvidia 9750 graphics cards , a Western Digital 250
gig SATA harddrive, MS Keyboard, Wireless Mouse 2000, and a Sony Flatpanel
monitor. The only software installed is Windows Vista premium, MS Office
2007 (Student Edition), Nero 8.0, and Zone Alarm for Vista.

Thanks for any help.

Just a guess here. ANY mouse activity will of course wake any screensaver
up, and also will restart the screensaver timer. So it sounds like for some
reason your new mouse (driver) is always (or at least often) generating a
signal as if the mouse was moved.

Like I said, only a guess, and I can offer no work around...

There is a know problem with Vista and MS wireless mice. Even thought the
box says "Vista Compatible". BTW everything works fine with a corded mouse.

Did you install a critical update from
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/vistaupdate before proceeding with
installation.
This update provides stability improvements to the USB stack under Vista x86
and x64 for Microsoft keyboard and Mice.

Looking at the link you provided it says it's an update for Bluetooth
wireless products. This isn't a Bluetooth device. Also, the MS Optical
Wireless Mouse 2000 doesn't come with any software. It's just the mouse and
receiver in the box.
