Screensaver
Just got a new PC with Vista and my screensaver does not work. A previous
thread indicated that it could be caused by a wireless mouse. I have a MS Intellipoint 4.1. Is this the cause of the problem? |

Try a usb or ps/2 mouse and see.

Is this the cause of the problem? There is an optional Windows Update for an HID device. Go to WU at your earliest convenience and get it.. -- Mike Hall - MVP http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |

It is a known bug.
You will need to install v6.1 or later. Download the one that applies to your hardware and OS from he http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo.../Download.mspx Carlos "Roy Sallis" wrote: Just got a new PC with Vista and my screensaver does not work.

If you have a MS wireless mouse you need to install an optional update titled
"Microsoft -Other Hardware -HID Non-user Input filter" . This will fix the screensaver problem. If you are using Intellipoint 4.1 software, you should also update to 6.2 (I believe it is now). -- Paul "Roy Sallis" wrote: Just got a new PC with Vista and my screensaver does not work.

Thanks for the reply. It is a usb mouse. I unplugged it and the screen saver
works. Looks like MSN has some fixing to do. "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: Try a usb or ps/2 mouse and see. "Roy Sallis" wrote in message ... Just got a new PC with Vista and my screensaver does not work.

They actually did it.
You need v6.1 installed. See d/l links in my other answers. Carlos "Roy Sallis" wrote: Thanks for the reply. It is a usb mouse. I unplugged it and the screen saver works.
