    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.

    Thanks,

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

    Thank you very much.
