Vista screensavers not working

I recently had to reinstall Vista 32 bit on my PC & my screensavers do not
work,
I am using default drivers for wireless combo & screensavers worked before
reinstalling. My power settings do work however; is there a fix to this or
do I need to wipe PC & reinstall OS?

You need to get this optional update from Windows Update..

Where can I get this update? There is no option on my Windows Update for
Other Hardware? Windows update in Vista looks like part of Vista where in XP
it was obvious I was in a web app with reasonable menu selections and info
available. (I really hate Vista, it has caused me nothing but problems.)

Helloo Marty,
Google in the search box for Intellipoint softeware.( Make sure you ask
for either 32-bit 0r 64 bit ). Install it and then look for the optional
update " Hid Non-user Input Data Filter ".

Figured it out. For some reason, it had been hidden (I didn't do it).
Installed it and it solved the problem.

In case any readers have this similar problem, here is a description and
answer: Similar problem was that it wouldn't sleep when plugged in. Changed
the Multimedia Power setting to allow sleep when media was shared.
