I have found programs running in the backgroumd such as searching for
updates, etc. that cause this problem. Also, a cordless mouse caused
the problem on my desktop.
Try hitting CTRL-ALT-DELETE and go to System Processes and see if
anything looks like a "running process" and try deleting them one at a
time and then test the attempt by setting your screensaver to say one
minute and waiting.
