Couple of weeks ago I disabled the screensaver on my new Vista 64bit machine because it was popping up when I was installing XP into VMware virtual machine. Yesterday I enabled it again and this morning I realized that it wasn't kicking in at all. I had it set to show my photos and to show up after 5 minutes of inactivity. The preview worked fine, but the screensaver did not kick in at all. <\/p>\n

I started digging around and found that this is caused by incompatability between the IntelliPoint driver and Vista. Well, last week I had installed a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000, which I now use on all my computers (I LOVE that mouse!) and the IntelliPoint driver that came with it.<\/p>\n

After some searching, I found a knowledgebase article on the Microsoft website<\/a> suggested to check for updates and install a \"Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data Filter\" update. So I did and the update was there and I updated the Vista64 with it. That completely fixed the screen saver.<\/p>\n

If your screensaver stops working on Vista or Vista 64, check out if you need this update! Hope this helps someone:)<\/p>\n
