Hi!

Last June, I installed Vista Beta and bought Microsoft USB wireless Keybord
and Mouse 6000.
The Screen saver and Power options did not work.
Th same problem with Vista RC1.
The same problem with with Vista RC2
The same problem with Vista RTM Ultimate.

But, now, it works . . . at last!

The only thing I installed is this update coming from Windows

Installation date: 2007-02-05 20:13

Installation status: Successful

Update type: Optional

P.S. At last, I see the beautiful Bubbles screen saver!

I just bought a new Dell with Vista and noticed my screen saver did not work.
After reading some of this group's posts, I disconnected the Microsoft
wireless mouse I was using and then tested the screen saver- it worked.

Then I connected a Logitech wireless mouse that I use on my laptop and then
tested the screen saver. With the Logitech wireless mouse the screen saver
works fine.
