Windows XP: Wireless optical mouse is preventing the screen saver
Wireless optical mouse is preventing the screen saver
by cadkin - 1/26/06 4:10 AMI have a philips x50 notebook with windows XP professional. I have bought a wireless optical mouse (microsoft Wireless Optical Notebook mouse 4000)
When the mouse is plugged in, the screen saver will not start even if idle for long enough, despite being configured to do so. When the mouse is not plugged in the screen saver starts as normal. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?
Many thanks
Carl

I routinely remove the drivers that came with such mice and use whatever Windows supplies. Sure I lose the eye candy or tilt a wheel feature...
remove driver

You would not remove Vista's driver.

And if you didn't install or use the CD that came with that mouse then there is nothing more to do here.

Flip It
by Tien-Avenger - 1/26/06 10:04 PM In reply to: Wireless optical mouse is preventing the screen saver by cadkinif you got speakers on your desk or a subwoofer like me and play music all the time then the vibrations are what the mouse is picking up.
Solution: Flip the mouse upside down if there's no surface then the optical mouse is powerless

I'll give it a try
Same here...
by someguy12345 - 1/31/06 8:59 AM In reply to: Wireless optical mouse is preventing the screen saver by cadkinIm using Wireless set as well and experiencing identical problem... but have no solution (I was looking for solution when i run into your post).
When mouse and/or keyboard are plugged in, neither screen saver nor auto power off works. unplug the receiver module and it works fine.
Should have known better... Stay away from Microsoft $#!t....
Where do you get driver

I have the same mouse on my Dell and have the same problem. I was told the same thing about updating the driver, but can't find it anywhere.
Thanks,
Mark
