My screensaver will not go on. I do not have a wireless mouse. I do have a
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, but it is up to date. I unplugged it to
see if that was the problem, but to no avail. I have updated the drivers for
my video (ATI Radeon X300/X550) and updated the sound (onboard HP). I am
going crazy over something so stupid. I hate Vista. No screensavers work. Am
I the only one in the world with this problem? Please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

See the post here for "Screensaver failure" as it has the answer for you on
how to fix it.

Hi Rob,

Try these things which worked....

Cause:



•The Human Interface Device Access service is running.

•An administrator logs on first and the screen saver is automatically started one time.

The administrator logs off and a non-administrator user logs on to the same computer.

When these conditions exist, the screen saver may not start automatically for the non-administrator user.

Solution: Follows….


Start -> Run-> Services.msc

•Disable the Human Interface Device Access from services.
(HID Service)


Restart the system.... IT will work

Hi Arthi, I tried that. Didn't work.

Here is something strange. I need to go into the screensaver settings and
change the time when it will go on, just by a minute either way. Then it will
go on. But, I have to do it everyday, or the screensaver won't work. Figure
that one out.

Rob

My screensaver would not work but when I installed an optional update it worked. The update you need is "Microsoft - Other Hardware - HID Non-User Input Data Filter

Please can you tell me where I can find this update. It's not in my optional
updates and I've searched Microsoft website and can't find the update
anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

The screen saver fix for when a wireless mouse is installed would be found
in Windows Update.. look for:

Microsoft - Other Hardware - HID Non-User Input Data Filter
