Screen Saver doesn't work... HELP
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? "alf7199" wrote: 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.

Screen Saver doesn't work... HELP
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... "SKeene" wrote: Do you receive any kind of error?

Screen Saver doesn't work... HELP
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!!! -- dherman

Screen Saver doesn't work... HELP
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. -- Hester

Screen Saver doesn't work... HELP
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. -- Jackastor

Screen Saver doesn't work... HELP
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. "Hank" wrote: Are you using a wireless mouse and Keyboard ? Hank "Jackastor" wrote in message ...

Screen Saver doesn't work... HELP
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?
