| | Re: MS Wireless Keyboard Kills Screen Saver? Mike: I already downloaded and installed those new drivers, some time ago. The problem is, I cannot find the update file you mentioned, and I need to find and download it manually. If there is no way to find, download and save VISTA updates manually, I predict a never-ending series of disasters for this new MS OS. Automation can only go so far, and it usually breaks when you need it most. The sad thing is, I saw the update you referenced...the HID Non-User, and didn't bother with it because no explanation was offered on its description line. Now I can't find it on the MS site or on my computer. I want to set up a folder in which to download and save VISTA updates so I can run them. How do I do that? And how do I retrieve that update I cannot find? Thanks!

| | Re: MS Wireless Keyboard Kills Screen Saver? Harry While you may well have downloaded the drivers from that site some time ago, there is a possibility that the drivers files have been updated since then.. you owe it to yourself to at least try it out.. In the meantime, I will Endeavour to find out what I can..

| | Re: MS Wireless Keyboard Kills Screen Saver? I think I have it. I removed the "Dreamscene" or "Dreamscape" add-on (never used it, justdownloaded the upgrade) and voila, the Microsoft - Other Hardware - HID Non-User Input Data Filter became available from the update site. So I accepted that update and now my screensaver seems to be working with my wireless keyboard. Weird stuff, thanks for the hints.
