My Screen Saver Won't Activate

My screen saver will not turn on. I downloaded the update that fixes the
glitch when you have a mouse or keyboard pluged in so the screen saver turns
on. But now I have my laptop pluged into my TV via VGA cable, but now my
screen saver won't turn on., Is there anything I can do to fix this?. I have
a wireless mouse and keyboard pluged in but I don't know if that will prevent
it from activating.

Re: My Screen Saver Won't Activate

The only thing I can think of, at the moment, is whether you might have
Windows Media Player playing, and have it set to block screensavers in WMP's
Tools > Options, on the Player tab.
