In addition to noting Rishi's advice, Do you have a wireless mouse? If you
do:
Make sure your mouse's wireless receiver is plugged in and active (this is
important). Go to Control Panel (Classic View) > Windows Update. Click on
Check for Updates. Choose to install the Optional Hardware Update called
"Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data Filter". Your screensaver, with a
wireless mouse, should now work.
The screen saver does not work when you use a Microsoft wireless pointing
device on a Windows Vista-based computer:
