Which Microsoft support site informed you that they had no plans to fix the problem? I find that unacceptable that they have a compatatibility problem between "their mouse" and "their operating sytem" that they have no plan to resolve.

Any new info on this? I read that it was the beta mouse or keyboard driver. Now that the keyboard and mouse driver are not beta any more, Microsoft doesn't seem to have any more record of this problem on their site, but I still have the problem. I have a Logitech MX also wireless and I have the same issue. If I close the Logitech icon in the system tray it is resolved, but then I lose some functionality. Not much fun. Microsoft hardware is fantastic until you need a new set of drivers. Let's say, XP x64 or Vista.

Then you can basically "go swivel" as far as Microsoft is concerned. They almost always outsource a lot of this stuff so they have no way to update the drivers once they update their own operating systems.

The most interesting recent one was that they force-updated XP to IE7, which broke their fingerprint readers. It took them 4 months after IE7 release to get a new set of software out even though they knew about the problem for at least 6 months prior to release.

Sadly, the new software is a total bug-fest and completely unuseable, so they've basically just invalidated an entire piece of hardware.

I have a new Dell PC, loaded with Vista, all of one week old. I've since solved THAT problem. I also noticed the screensaver problem, but then again the mouse that came with the PC was not a problem at all.

My husband bought a MS Laser Wireless mouse I did go around that problem by downloading Webshots. I can also use a similar shortcut to cycle my wallpaper. The trick is that it doesn't give me the option of passwording, which works fine with my PC as I'm the only one using it.

Just a thought. That's really strange. I was wondering what causes this problem. But it sound like a joke, that ms don't want to fix it. It's their product which is causing the trouble. Hope they think about it. Screensaver now works fine. Does anyone have the issue where the screen turns black except for the bottom bar.

Eventually a message appears saying that the screen saver will not start. And the only solution I can find is to restart the computer? I've disabled the screen saver completely now. It worked fine for several weeks and just started doing this a couple days ago I have Vista Home Premium and have experienced problems with my screensaver - but I have no wireless equipment connected.

I traced my problem to the usb internet phone USRobotics As soon as this is disconnected, my screensaver works. I have a factory loaded version of vista and have a problem with the screen saver starting at set time but then only running a few minutes and stopping. I have removed wireless Logitech LX7 mouse and replaced with ms wired optical mouse and still have same problem. The issue with being wireless doesn't seem to be the problem. This driver provides additional information to advanced devices like the Intellimouse so you can see battery status and a few other settings of the device.

I see no ill effects by disabling this driver and it has fixed the problems with Intellisense. PCI Express 6. Use Your iPhone as a Webcam. Hide Private Photos on iPhone.
