Screensaver won't say on it shuts off after 10 minutes

[Megumi]

I had to reinstall Windows XP and I installed CA Solution Ultimate Suite for
security. My screensaver which worked fine before now on stays on for 10
minutes then it goes back to my desktop and stays like that. I've tried
everything from changing the screensaver to adjusting the times. I set it to
hibernate, not to hibernate, to standby, do to nothing and to shutdown. I
don't think that is the problem but something underneath that is turning it
off. Please help (^_^)

Locate, download and install all updated drivers for your PC. Drivers
for devices like mice, modems and keyboard have been known to cause
this screen saver issue before.

Perhaps your "security" software is waking the PC up to do its scanning.

Type of mouse? Try disconnecting mouse just to determine if is the cause.
Or, configure so mouse cannot wake computer..
