For some reason my Screen Savers will never kick in. Anyone have any
suggestions?
Running Vista Home Premium.

Thanks,
Ed.
 
There is an optional update in Windows Update.. these are the details off of
my own computer.. take a look at the URLs..

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

Installation date: ‎06/‎02/‎2007 10:57

Installation status: Successful

Update type: Optional

Microsoft Other Hardware software update released in January, 2007

More information:

If you do not see the update in the list of possibles, try uninstalling
DreamScene, and then revisit WU.. as weird as it seems, the update
reappeared.. it worked for one person for sure.. he didn't re-apply
DreamScene, but I suspect that one could having gotten it back having
applied the 'wireless receiver fix'..

There is also the possibility that the fix has now been included in drivers
available from the Microsoft Hardware website, but I have no confirmation of
this. However, downloading and installing the drivers presently on offer is
worth a try if all else fails.

Thank you for the reply. At first after I read it, I thought maybe you
replying in error to some other Post. I thought this sounds nothing like it
has anything to do with a Screen Saver problem... LOL.

So I took your advice and checked my updates. I had 3 available updates to
be installed.

One was the HID Non-User Input Data Filter Jan 2007 you had mentioned. So, I
installed it. I installed all three. It said the computer may need a
restart. I restarted and sure enough my Screen Saver now works.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help and glad that it fixed the
problem.

Ed.
