Hi ARg,

Do you have a wireless mouse and keyboard?

This may help:

Ok Arg,

First:
Make sure that you have the latest video drivers installed. If that does not help, then:

Run step 4 to see what devices are allowed to wake the computer up from sleep modes. This will apply for the screen saver as well. See if you have your keyboard listed. If not, then do step 5 and enable it.
