Screen shaver problems

[Guest]

My screen shaver does not function even though I have set a time out in the
screen control panel. The screen shaver does not pop up at the fixed time. I
can do all the settings but it does not function! What to do?

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.

Is it a Remington® or a Norelco® brand?

I am not that technical. What do you mean? Where can I found that out?

Thanks for all your good suggestions. Unfortunately I am not that much
technical minded so I can follow the links below. I have a question to you!
What do you or David mean by connecting to the computer using the USB to PS2
adapter? What is the latter and what is meant by PS2? I do got a wireless
Microsoft mouse and would be sorry to change it to a taled mouse!

Do you have anything serious to say in relation to having problems with the
screen shaver? I would very much like to hear a solution to my problem in
this connection.

Hi, there is the wireless mouse, the usb connected mouse and the PS2 connected mouse.
When I used a USB connected mouse, my screensaver doesn't come on unless I was in an application. By
using a PS2 connected mouse I don't have problems with the screensaver.

In your mouse software, under visibiity, you have the option of showing a trail.

Have you checked to make sure nothing else is running or scheduled to run when idle in the
background that could interfer with the screensaver.

He's talking about shavers not screensavers.

No. Hell, I don't even know what a "screen shaver" is. <grin>
