Carl - I would go to the MS site and look for the latest driver. It may solve this problem and prevent others that have not been in evidence yet. Amos.
I have a philips x50 notebook with windows XP professional. I have bought a wireless optical mouse (microsoft Wireless Optical Notebook mouse 4000)
When the mouse is plugged in, the screen saver will not start even if idle for long enough, despite being configured to do so. When the mouse is not plugged in the screen saver starts as normal. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?
Many thanks
Carl
