Screensaver not working with wireless mouse/keyboard

[Bart]

Since I installed my Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse and Keyboard my
screensavers or power schemes will not work. I've tried everything and am
desperate - may have to turn it off for good. Please help.

I have the same screensaver/power issue on my computer whenever I use my
Microsoft® Wireless Desktop Pro 2.0 with the USB ports of an Intel®
Desktop Board D915GAV.

If I were to plug the same Microsoft® Wireless Desktop Pro 2.0 into the
PS/2 ports of the Intel® Desktop Board D915GAV, the screensaver/power
settings perform as expected

When I used the Microsoft® Wireless Desktop Pro 2.0 on another computer
using the USB ports of an Asus CUSL2 motherboard, the screensaver/power
settings work properly.

These findings seem to indicate that there is a USB issue on the Intel®
Desktop Board D915GAV. I have recently opened a call with Intel over
this issue.
