Doesn't matter if you love the computer [hardware]. The hardware has to
work with the software. If you hate Vista because it doesn't work, then you
more than likely you have a hardware problem. See the vendor. If you hate
Vista because you prefer XP, then find a local Guru that has XP for sale,
with an old computer, have him put XP on your new computer and throw the old
computer away. That is the only way you will legally get a copy of XP. And
be sure to get XP SP2 version. There are CD updates for XP free [or were].
That is the only way you will get all the XP security updates and fixes. XP
without the updated and fixes is not much of an OS.

If you are using a cordless mouse the screen saver will not work because it
continues to receive signal, this will fix it:

Go to

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

click on the link to check for updates for other windows software, if it is
present and work your way through the confirmation screens. At which point it
returns to the update and checks for other software updates.

It should show an optional update called;

Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data Filter

download and install this update.

I have a brand new computer with Vista installed
I really enjoyed my screen saver on XP but even though the preview shows up
fine, the screen saver does not kick in on my notebook.
Does anyone have the same problem? Have you solved it?
