Windows 7 Screen Saver won't start
Hello,
I have actually tried all the suggestions already posted on this site to remedy this problem but so far none of them have worked. To put it simply, the screen saver doesnt activate regardless of the appointed minutes to start, or screen saver image. From searching the web I see there are many people with the same issue but I havent found a solution that works for me.
I have already tried solutions for this link

Including this one disable Allow this device to wake the computer' in your network adapter property.
Are there any new solutions that may have been discovered?

what version of windows 7 do you have?
also, do you have a wireless keyboard & mouse connected? If so, try disconnecting it and use a usb keyboard and mouse and then try the screen saver

Ok I completely un-plugged the USB remote device from my PC and booted it up. I set the screen saver to start in 5 minutes but after about 15 minutes it has still doesn't kick on. Any other ideas?
