Thanks for the reply, but I have a wireless mouse.
I never thought of that. I wonder could the wireless
deal cause a conflict of actions?

It could definitely be your wireless mouse especially if it is made by Microsoft. Disconnect it and see if your screensaver will engage. I had the same trouble a few years ago and had to exchange the Microsoft for a Logitech.

Oh, that might actually be the problem. Reason why I mentioned the whole pointing device issue is...a mouse that’s even slightly flakey, registering motion in error, will prevent the machine from going into screen saver. Wireless mice are pretty notorious for doing exactly that!

Test this please...set your screen saver up, give it a one minute timer, then pull the batteries out of the mouse. See if it goes into screen saver then. If it does, then you know the mouse is simply fooling the machine into thinking it’s being moved.
