I thought a solution was wanted that didn't involve unplugging the wireless
items...another way to get the screensaver to work after using media centre
is select "ehtray" in task manager then "end process".

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.

"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.

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

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!

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

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?
