Wireless Mouse against Screen Saver
Posted by MapleE. on November 28th, 2007


Hi:
There are NO screen saver to kick-in after having installed
and been using Microsoft Wireless Mouse.

Is there any way to kick-in Screen Saver even using Wireless
Mouse?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I used a Microsoft wireless mouse for years and had no trouble with
screen savers. Here are some things to know:

Your screen saver kicks in after 'X' minutes of inactivity. Any movement
of your mouse can be interpreted as 'activity'. So if you move your
mouse, or someone else does, or even if you drop a book or do something
else that causes a vibration, the mouse can move just enough to be
considered 'activity'.

In Device Manager, check the Power Management settings for your mouse.
Remove the check marks. (I did this for my keyboard also.)
