screensaver will not turn on

[Guest]

My screensaver will not turn on automatically and also will not turn on when
I try manually. Does anyone have any idea how to make my screensaver work
again?

Are you using a new Microsoft keyboard and mouse?

 

[Guest]

yes, i just got a new cordless microsoft keyboard and mouse. I dont know how
to make my screensaver work now though?

The same thing is happening to me. It started after I installed the
Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. I have no idea what program is
conflicting with the mouse and I can't find the answer anywhere.

I solved my problem and I hope what I found will be able to help anyone who
is having problems after installing the Wireless Laser Mouse 6000.00

You need to run msconfig.

Once there, you will have to click on the general tab

Click on selective Startup and de-click Load Startup Items

Click on the Startup tab

The conflict is a DVD launch program. For me, I had to de-check PDVDServ.
This is my Cyberlink Power DVD.

So look for an item that contains DVD in it. Microsoft did point out
another problem with their optical mouse. PCM and DVDlauch conflicts with
this mouse, so I figured that a DVD program must be conflicting with the 6000.

Hopefully, this will save someone a few hours of trying to figure out what
the heck is going on, because Microsoft doesn't know yet.

Good luck!

Thanks alot for the info. I spent about a week, including restore, to try
and fix this. I knew it was in Cyberlink because I had installed it prior to
the problem, but -duh-forgot the MSCONFIG. Thanks again, Bill
