Screen saver never comes on

Help, no matter how little of a delay I have, my screen saver NEVER turns on.
I can leave the computer for 8 hours only to come back to the desktop still
there! I have tried different screen savers, different wait times, never
activates...help!

Do you have a wireless mouse? It's a known problem with certain of them.
By the way this is not a performance and maintenance issue. It would be
better posted in the general newsgroup.

There is an optional update in Windows Update.. these are the details off of
my own computer.. take a look at the URLs..

Microsoft - Other Hardware - HID Non-User Input Data Filter

Installation date: ‎06/‎02/‎2007 10:57

Installation status: Successful

Update type: Optional

Microsoft Other Hardware software update released in January, 2007

More information:
http://winqual.microsoft.com/support/?driverid=20031770

More information:
http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=hub

If you do not see the update in the list of possibles, try uninstalling
DreamScene, and then revisit WU.. as weird as it seems, the update
reappeared.. it worked for one person for sure.. he didn't re-apply
DreamScene, but I suspect that one could having gotten the 'wireless
receiver fix..

So, does this update fix the problem with a wireless mouse? and can you be
more specific where to find that update? When I click on the URL links, I
just go to an information page that tells what drivers are, nothing about
updates.
