Windows 7 (7000) Screen Saver
After a couple of days of testing, I've discovered a possible bug in the code. It has to do with the screen saver and power saver settings. I've done every kind of voodoo I know of, and even had a consultation with our resident expert johngalt. We both agree that these features not working is part of either a bug in the code, or lack of code. In either case, if your screen saver isn't working along with your power saver options, you are not alone.
Should some kind of work around be found, we'll post it in this thread.
Possible solution: If you are using a Microsoft Mouse (like I am), you'll need to download the beta software for your mouse from Microsoft. This fixed the screen saver/power settings issue on my pc. Here's the link:

My mobo has an intel chipset. I really can't explain the SS or power management not working. The secondary issue I discovered is that if I force the pc to sleep, it doesn't want to wake up. I had to go through a reboot/recovery process to bring the pc back to life. Could be this proprietary stuff my pc has. Branded bios and such. Which among other things won't allow me to OC
@octomobiki - if your pc is coming out of sleep by itself, it could be "wake on lan" settings for your network adapter. Go to your device manager, find your network card, right click it, properties, power management, untick the box that says "allow this device to wake the computer". See if that helps.

I am having problems with power management and screen saver on my laptop . Turns out my microsoft wireless mouse is causing the problem. W7 automatic updates in not bringing up the option to install .....HID non-user input data filter to fix the problem. Got the fix now I just have to figure out where to put it(not a self install file).
