My screen saver doesn't work, I didn't do anything to prompt it to not work,
I do not use any mouse other than my touch pad. I use Windows Vista Home
Premium on a Dell Laptop. I have tried to read other people's posts and
either can't understand them or they don't apply to me. I can't even preview
the screen savers. Please help. Thanks!

Do you receive any kind of error? Also, did they work before and quit, or
have they never worked?

no error message it just never goes idle it seems. All the screensavers
worked before and then all of a sudden they stopped. I have only had the
laptop for a little over a month...

i'm having the exact same problem, my screensaver and preview won't
work. the screensaver will never come on, and when i hit preview it
comes on for about 1 second and then kicks off. i had a wireless mouse,
but unlike everyone else on the internet, when i unplugged mine the
screensaver never started working again. i've tried everything i can
think of including the HID update, but still nothing. you are the only
other person i've found that the preview also doesn't work. has anyone
found a solution yet? HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPP!!!

I also cannot get screensaver to work. It did work at first for a
couple of months then just stopped working. What it does is, after the
set number of minutes, the screensaver starts for about 2 seconds, then
the screen goes black until you reactivate it. Seems wireless mice
might have something to do with it, is that right? I normally used a
wired mouse but do have also a wireless one (but I don't like the delay
involved to get it to wake up after sleeping!) - I cannot guarantee that
I have never plugged that one in. Please help.........thanks.

I just got a new comp last week, running vista ultimate 64. My bundled
screensavers never kick on, in addition, my power saver never kicks on
and cuts the screen to black.

I have no idea why. I basically turn off my monitor at night because
otherwise whatever is on the screen just stays there. I have searched
all over the net for a solution and get nothing.

My screensaver also stopped working. I too am running Vista Home Premium. I
suspect it was a Symantec update that caused this problem. I tried to do a
system restore prior to the update but the restore failed too. Also have
found no solution. Called HP and they were absolutely no help.
