Re: Screensaver not working

I have the Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse and am having the exact same
problem with my screen saver. Not working at all under MCE.

Kudos to all!!! I can't tell you how relieved I was to find out that my
Wireless 6000 Laser notebook mouse was preventing my screen saver from
turning on. I,too, had contacted Dell and Microsoft and both wanted to
charge a fee for software services. Fortunately, I did not have to
completely uninstall the mouse. All I had to do was unplug the wireless
adapter. Who'd of thought!!!!! Thanks again to all!!!

I have the same problem. I just got this HP Media Center PC dual processors
12/20/2005, over the next 3 1/3 weeks I installed all my personal software
before updating the XP SP2 Pro with all the patches. I am using a wireless
Microsoft explorer mouse and screensaver worked until about a week ago after
I applied all the patches to the XP Pro sp2. At first my screensaver stopped
working on my main account with Admin rights but worked on the Hp_ admin
account setup by HP. After a week or so trying to trace the problem down I
decided to use the hp_admin account because I thought I might have picked up
a bug on my main account and I wanted to scan my computer on a clean account.
In using the hp_admin account for everyday uses I had to configure some apps
like Spybot S&D to work with that account. Within 30 min or so my screensaver
stopped working on all account. I THINK that this was caused by one of the
patches I applied or some security setting I changed like security audit. The
problem I am having is that all the documents explain in detail what how
client and server environment act but very little detail for standalone
direct connected to the internet pc should be setup. I am thinking about
starting all over without changing any of the system default settings and see
what happens unless someone has some suggestions how to uninstall all the
patches and reset the default setting that my hp computer came with.

I also tried to let Microsoft know about the problem and was told to write
them at One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052-6399. My letter was returned as
"NOT DELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED". Microsoft says on their website that:
"If you think you have found a bug in a Microsoft product, contact our
Microsoft Product Support Services department.
(800) MICROSOFT (642-7676) http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactbug";

I am not impressed. There is no way to let Microsoft know about this BUG!

I am having the same problem with the wireless laser 6000. I tried to contact
Microsoft but they wanted $35.00 for their service. I wish I had the box so I
could return it.

Exact issue w/ MS wireless elite keyboard & mouse & Dell Dimesion 4700c.
At least after hours and hours troubleshooting screensaver issue at least it
is now isolated to the wireless, rather than other components. Now,
hopefully a solution will emerage!

The only thing I can suggest is to contact Microsoft and tell them they have
a bug in their wireless keyboard/mouse...

There may also be a setting in the mouse properties...

Dana,
I pulled the batteries - no success. I pulled the plug on it & the
screen
saver worked. How do I fix the issue & keep my mouse & keyboard
connected????

It's possible the wireless mouse is pinging the system even with no
movement. Can you turn your mouse off when not using the system?
