Screen saver not working

[Guest]

I purchased a new Dell Dimension 9100 and the screen saver is not functional.
All the other properties on the desk top work fine. Is there a turn on
click that I dont know about. Appreciate any input here. R. J.

Hi R.J,

See if this applies.

The screen saver does not work when you use a Wireless Optical Desktop mouse
on a Windows XP SP2-based computer:
