Re: Screen saver

Did you start using a wireless mouse or keyboard? They just sent an update a
few days ago for this. It's an optional update starting with "HID" under
windows updates. For some reason the USB devices aren't allowing the
screensaver to kick in.

Re: Screen saver

Thanks,

I searched MS site but your directions for the patch worked. Everything is
working normally now.

Thank you very much.
