Just got a new PC with Vista and my screensaver does not work. A previous
thread indicated that it could be caused by a wireless mouse. I have a MS
Intellipoint 4.1. Is this the cause of the problem?

Try a usb or ps/2 mouse and see.

There is an optional Windows Update for an HID device. Go to WU at your
earliest convenience and get it..

It is a known bug.
You will need to install v6.1 or later.

If you have a MS wireless mouse you need to install an optional update titled
"Microsoft -Other Hardware -HID Non-user Input filter" . This will fix the
screensaver problem. If you are using Intellipoint 4.1 software, you should
also update to 6.2 (I believe it is now).

Thanks for the reply. It is a usb mouse. I unplugged it and the screen saver
works. Looks like MSN has some fixing to do.
