VIsta Home Basic - No Screen Saver

[jcryan1]

My Vista Home Screen saver is not working? The settings I am using is to use photos stored in "my pictures" folder. I have tried the different time-outs and nothing? Any ideas?

This might sound silly but if you have an optical mouse it's probabaly travelling a little bit effectively moving it and not allowing the screensaver to start - just an idea.

You are absolutely correct, I disconnected the mouse and the screen saver started to work!!! I must be honest and tell you that when I first read your post-reply I also thought it sounded "silly", but I have learned that when it comes to computers and MS Windows everything is possible even the most silliest thing. Thank you so much,

No problem - been in the same place myself before :-)
