Wireless mouse interference

[Guest]

How do you get Windows Vista to activate the screen saver, sleep and
hibernation while the wireless mouse is running? If I unplug the USB
connection the screen saver sleep and hibernation work normally. I have a
Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000.

Download and run the latest drivers from the Microsoft hardware website..
