Screensaver stopped working!

[Harry Krause]

This is weird. My monitor suddenly stopped going to a black screen after
20 minutes, which was my setting, and it won't invoke a screen saver,
either.

I checked the settings in properties, and nothing seemed amiss in either
"Screen Saver" or "Monitor Power."

Any ideas? Running XP Pro SP2 with all upgrades.

Check if you have any BIOS settings for Power Options.

This might help.

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