    I have all the latest updates and even stopped using my wireless Microsoft mouse and took it out of the USB port. Still the screensaver won't kick in. Now what? Something I'm missing? :mad:

    I've never had problem with it. I use the bubbles set to be displayed in 10 minutes and it works fine. Could you explain a little bit more about your problem?

    Well, my screensaver won't kick in. Last time I looked around I found it was due to an incompatibility problem between Vista and MS wireless mouse. the 3000 model I think. I'm current on the updates for the operating system so I can't figure out why it won't start up. I don't play pogo either so any other suggestions?

    It's working fine for me, but I do not use a wireless mouse. One other thing to consider, although I left Iowa about 25 years ago, I still have to remember to set my watch back 20 years whenever I visit. ;) Perhaps the screensaver is simply off by a couple of decades?

    Seriously, have you rebooted without the mouse in place?
