thanks much!

Good point here is to get all updated Vista Drivers... Pay particular
attention to video drivers and hard disk drivers and utilities from
the system or motherboard maker. Check BIOS too.

I too have the same problem on my DELL INSP.1720 laptop ... even after I
downloaded and installed the updated IntelliPoint driver 6.10.158 for
Win.Vista.32. The only way I can get the screen saver and/or the
sleep/hibernation modes to work is to disable the IntelliPoint mouse.

Has anyone figured out a work-around?

Thanks!

Are you using the Optical Mouse 500, or a wireless mouse?

 

[Spirit]

I use the wireless 4000 keyboard and the Optical Mouse 2.0 both MS products
and Sleep works well here. Check your BIOS and Mouse settings which affect
Sleep and Wake-up.

Using MS's USB Wireless Laser Mouse. Thanks!

Make sure your mouse's wireless receiver is plugged in and active (this is
important). Go to Control Panel (Classic View) > Windows Update. Click on
Check for Updates. Choose to install the Optional Hardware Update called
"Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data Filter". Your screensaver, with a
wireless mouse, should now work.

The screen saver does not work when you use a Microsoft wireless pointing
device on a Windows Vista-based computer:
