RE: Screen saver and other programs running

If I'm reading this correctly, you’re saying the screensaver is not kicking
in. I had a similar problem and the culprit was my Microsoft natural
wireless keyboard. Someone on this board posted having a similar issue and
traced it to the keyboard. I removed the keyboard and intellisoft software
and replaced it with a standard keyboard and my screensaver has been working
since. I'm not sure what the problem was with my Microsoft keyboard but when
I tried switching back, the problem with the screensaver returned. I hope
this helps!
