Screen saver never comes on
Posted by admin on Oct 15th, 2006
Help, no matter how little of a delay I have, my screen saver NEVER turns on. I can leave the computer for 8 hours only to come back to the desktop still there! I have tried different screen savers, different wait times, never activates...help!

So, does this update fix the problem with a wireless mouse? and can you be more specific where to find that update? When I click on the URL links, I just go to an information page that tells what drivers are, nothing about updates. "Mike Hall MS MVP Windows Shell/User" wrote:
