Debra

I got an unexpected vista update today and as I watched my computer go down
and come back up and with no intervention my screensaver then tried to come
on and guess what - new screen saver error. I also still suffer from another
problem a just after a previous vista update - I have two login icons that go
my same one and only user login account. Can anyone help?

one alternative may be to turn off monitor using a shareware "turn off
monitor" at
'Turn Off Monitor,ShutDown,Lock Workstation,Turn Off Laptop Monitor and
much more...' (http://www.rtsoftwares.com)

My OS is vista home premium 32bit. It's only 5 months old. My
screensaver does not work either. It worked before, and I had checked
the Preview which works, and I had checked the power settings which are
15min.on battery, 30min. on plugin. It's aldo set on Performance
Setting. Please advise. Thank you.

I also have the same problem...the preview works fine but the screensaver
doesn't come on. This happened when I first got the laptop. The screensavber
worked once and then stopped. I re-installed Vista Premium and the first time
the screensaver worked after I set it up. Then it stopped. Any ideas?

Hey guys and gals, Hank was trying to tell you the answer ( don't know
why he wouldn't say it out right.) Here is the answer : ---
YOUR WIRELESS MOUSE. As long as you have the pointer RESTING on the
screen, " something is running ", therefore screensaver does not kick
in. Have your mouse pointing away from the computer, your screensaver
will come on on schedule. Your wired mouse will not have that problem
because it's not laser optical. There you have it. I just figured that
out 5 hours ago and I had the same puzzle for 4 months.

Additional infos : Go to Windows Updates, download one of the
optionals: " Other hardware. HID Non-User Input Data Filter " . It will
get the screensaver working even with wireless mouse.

Thanks for the help. Just pointing the mouse away from the lapop didn't
work...signal too strong probably. However, I disconnected the mouse and used
the fingerpad. The screensaver came on. I then downloaded the optional that
david said to use and that worked for the wireless mouse. Again, thanks for
the help!!!
