Resolved my issue. The funny thing is, there was no problem after I bought the device for my Dell Vostro.

It only occured after I reinstalled my laptop with the recovery partition before installing Vista SP1. But installing the dedicated Microsoft Intellipoint software solved it. Thought my brandnew DELL was giving me issues OK, I have read all of the posts here and tried all of the fixes but it is still not working.

I am using a logitech Nano and Vista Ult. Before I disabled the HID compliant consumer control device it would not even show the preview. Aft I disabled it I can get the preview but the screen save never comes on.

Anymore Ideas? Problem was the screensaver wouldn't auto start. Also It wouldn't stay asleep either. What was happening was the network adapter kept waking up the computer and resetting the screensaver timer.

To Fix: 1. Click "Power Management" tab 4. Un-Check "Allow this device to wake computer" 5. Click "OK" Fixed. Had the same issue with Vista Home Premium where the screen save would not activate. Tried the option of downloading the new drivers refer to KB's entry of April 3, from microsoft. Even used KB's link.

Everything went smoothly and the screen save now activates. One more Vista mystery solved. On my vista if Windows media player is playing music the screen saver never starts. FFFF bill gates its your own dame mouses that dont work and you cant fix the problem.. Funny how only until I ran across this page did it even dawn on me that the new Microsoft Laptop wireless mouse was causing my problem.

Why would a microsoft wireless mouse not work on vista without a patch is beyond me :. I have a problem with the scrensaver I hava windows vista. I can't change the screensaver, the wallpaper, the icons on the desktop, it always pop up a message that says something like the screensaver options were disable by the manager of the PC. I don't know how to enable my screensaver again please help me!!!!!!!

I was having the same problem for a long time. The link from April 3 from kb worked within a minute. Thanks so much. Really does suck no patch was issued.

I would never have thought it being the mouse. Thanks for all the help. I got the same problem for 4 months,but it's over now. Just unplug your system,remove the battery,and press the power button for 30 seconds.

Then insert the battery and plug in the power cord,and restart the computer then check your screensaver settings. Hope this helps. This is for the Laptops.
