Screen saver

I have several years of operating Windows 98 and XP. I am having problems
with my screen saver not working. I have changed to different scenes and it
still does not work when I converted over to Vista. Please help!!

1. Are you using a screensaver program or the default windows screen saver
option?
2. If not, have you tried using one instead?
3. Are you trying to use the same pictures (scenes), if so, have you checked
to see if they are corrupt?

Make sure you close down the sidebar.. The clock hands keep the screen saver
from coming on....

Are you using a wireless mouse or keyboard? If so, be sure that you have the
recommended update installed: Microsoft - Other Hardware - HID Non-User
Input Data Filter. Microsoft has classified this update as non-esstential.
It IS ESSENTIAL if yoiu are using Microsoft's wireless mouse and/or keyboard-
and if you want your screen saver to work! Check Start->All
progranms->Windows Update to make sure it is installed.

Thank-you, this is what prevented the screen saver from working.
