Screen Saver

Anyone know how to get screen savers to work after the installation of SP1
on Vista Home premium?

I am sure there must be a way!!!

Thanks in advance

There was an "optional" updated offered by Microsoft Update that made the screen savers work as intended. Mine had to do with a wireless optical mouse. If you have a wireless device, here's the fix from Microsoft:

To resolve this behavior, plug in a wireless receiver, and then visit the following Microsoft Windows Update Web site to check for updates:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ (Microsoft Windows Update)

Install the update that appears as Optional Hardware Update and has the following title:

Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data Filter

That's what did the trick for me. Hopefully it will help you as well.
