No screensaver start -one solution found

I had the same problem of windows 7 not shutting off the monitor or going into screen saver. After reading HalD's post I checked my input devices, I found that my wireless mouse was the culprit.

I was using a Microsoft wireless laser mouse model #1058, I swapped it out for a logitech wireless laser and now all is working as it should.

I find it odd that a Microsoft product does not work with it's latest OS.

I love the internet!!!!! my problem exactly. new driver sorted it out.

Went to the local Target last week anc pickeup a Logitech EX100 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse for $19.00 and everything is fine. Months spent trying to get my MS Keyboard and mouse to work. Should have saved my sanity months ago. If you're having the same problem, suggest buying this inexpensive solution. Noticed at a BJ's wholesale club yesterday they're selling the same combo pack, same price.

I had the same problem with a Microsoft wireless keyboard / mouse in Windows 7

Windows 7 loads apparently a standard driver. After having downloaded the correct driver from Microsoft works my screensaver perfect.
