Hello guys, I recently installed Vista Ultimate on a pretty fast machine, and
got everything set up, peripherals installed etc. The screen saver worked
great. Then I bought the Microsoft Desktop 6000 wireless Vista enabled
keyboard and high def mouse and installed the software, which subsequently
popped up a message stating "not compatible with Vista" which I found amusing
since it is a "Vista Certified" product, but quickly found the correct
driver/software pack on the Microsoft site and installed. Now everything
works great but I noticed the screen saver won't come on anymore. I did some
reserch online and found several forums with lots of people having the same
issue, namely: intall the Microsoft Vista drivers for Microsoft keyboard and
mouse, and the screen saver dies... Frustrating!!!

Does anyone know if Microsoft is aware of this problem, and or is there a
fix????

Thanks!!! Mark

Go to Windows Update and download"

Microsoft - Other Hardware - HID Non-User Input Data Filter

Update released in January, 2007

This will fix your problem.
