Peter said:I have no idea what most of that means, but the parts of it I do
understand ("All screen savers are password-protected", "Prevents users
from saving certain changes to the desktop" etc.) don't have anything to
do with my problem.
But hey, I think I got it licked. My problem happens when I exit the
screensaver by nudging my mouse, so I'm thinking maybe something is
screwey with Intellipoint. Time to reinstall.
Awhile back I bought myself a Logitech wireless desktop set (keyboard and
mouse). Love the keyboard, not so crazy about the mouse. So I ditched the
mouse and went back to my beloved Microsoft wireless optical mouse. Just
love that smooth scrolling. Problem is, the Logitech software I installed
is for a keyboard and a mouse - that's what I bought, after all - so when
I went to reinstall Intellipoint, Steve Ballmer says "not so fast, can't
have two mouse programs on the computer." Well Logitech doesn't care if I
use somebody else's mouse so I ditched Intellipoint. Never liked it
anyway. It always says the batteries are good when they're dead as
doornails.
Ever since then everything is wonderful. No more "turn off computer"
messages when I leave the screensaver. I tried it over and over last
night. So maybe the whole thing was because I had Logitech's mouse
software and Microsoft's mouse software on my computer at the same time.
If the problem doesn't come back by the end of the weekend, I think it's
really gone. I'll let you know on Monday. Hey thanks for sticking with me
all this time.
