Screen saver doen't come on?

[Guest]

All the setting are correct for the screensaver and other display propereties
but the screensaver just won't come on. It previews fine. When in safe mode I
think it works. When shutting down and the programs are all closing if I
stop half way then idle it works. But otherwise it will not come on. We run
Vet. No Idea, I've tried all I can think of.

â€I figured out what the problem is. It's the Microsoft Wireless Mouse. If I switch the mouse to
one with a tail the screensaver works.â€
then David posted again
â€I got a fix. I changed to connection to the computer using the USB to PS2 adapter that came with
the mouse. Now I get the screensaver. I would be interested to find out why this works.â€

Another checkpoint - make sure that a program is not causing the computer to remain active. You may
have a program running in the background that springs into life when the computer is idle.
