The settings in Display Properties/Screen Saver are not working, suddenly.

The screen background remains ON all the time, despite the waiting time for
screen saver of 5 minutes, and despite the Monitor Power settings of 15 and
20 minutes for monitor turn off and hard disk turn off, respectively.

I've programmed and reprogrammed several times the parameters, with reboot
in between, to no avail.

Please, what can this be?

Peter

The screen saver does not work when you use a Wireless Optical Desktop mouse
on a Windows XP SP2-based computer:
