We were able to take care of it via a driver udpate for the wireless mouse. &nbsp;Thanks everyone, will distribute points anyway.

Hi All,<br />
<br />
We have an issue with a Windows XP SP3 box. &nbsp;The machine WONT turn on the screensaver no matter what we set it for. &nbsp;We have tried setting it for 1 minute as a test and even that never comes on. &nbsp;This is a problem because we are trying to utilize the setting to revert back to the login screen so the machine logs out when the user is inactive. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any ideas why this might be? &nbsp;The machine is definitely idle and it's the only machine in the group doing this. <br />
<br />
Thanks!

Screen saver will NOT come on despite settings

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
