I bought a Microsoft Mini Optical Wireless Mouse 3000 to use with my laptop,
It would not let the computer go to screensaver not knowing this I closed
the lid to put computer to sleep with the mouse receiver plugged in and it
all most fried my computer. The computer did not go to sleep everything was
still running except the cooling fan. The computer got really hot. If you
use a Microsoft mouse be careful it could make your computer hot enough to
catch on fire. I sent Microsoft a letter to and let them know maybe they can
fix the problem.

David, there is a fix for it already, its a known fact with MS. Use Google
and type in " Screensaver will not activate in Vista" when the sites come
up, pick the first one and read down a little, in I beblieve its the 2nd
response there is an MS website you cango that will tell you how to fix it.
I have used it a ton of times and it works
