  Hello jerrylumpe

  1. If you use an old mouse, try to clean it.

  2. you can have a running process in the background that keeps XP thinking that he is busy and so the screen standby does not start.
  Go to msconfig and uncheck everything you don't need, then see if the screensaver will kick in.

  Start/run and type
  Msconfig
  Ok

  Startup tab
  Keep the page open then click on the link below. It will tell you what are all the entries and see if you can disable them or not

  Read the key at the foot of the page, then click on "Here" at the top. Use the search box to check all your entries

  Line 51 left side. Click on "toggle".

  It could be that something is resetting the timer. For example, it does take much vibration to move the mouse a little, and which will reset the timer to zero. Something like that would be possible? Or a pet that walks on the keyboard?

• Portege M400: screen saver does not work

  Hi all

  like many of you, I think, I need the screen saver protected by start-up automatically when I let my M400 unattended for some time.
  Everything works fine if the bluetooth is introduced to the wide. Otherwise... the screen saver does not start automatically.

  Site Microsoft learns something about the problems related to (Microsoft mouse) wireless devices that do not allow the screen saver appears.
  The proposed solution is to kill a process called PCMsomething, or download an update windows named KBsomething and install it.

  I actually a bluetooth wireless (non-Microsoft) combined with my PC mouse, but no PCMsomething process is executed and, although my mouse is turned off, the screen saver organizers can't work until I turned off the bluetooth of the M400 too. In addition, windows update does not suggest a KBsomething patch to install (maybe because my mouse is not a Microsoft one?).

  Any idea to solve my problem?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hi k4trm,

  1. what happens when you set a screen saver? What screensaver you have defined on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the screen saver does not to work.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• Screen saver does not react when I "wiggle" the mouse or press "Esc"; 'Enter', etc.

  I had the same screen saver running for centuries (it goes right through my photos), but in the last few weeks, I am unable to find the screen to 'wake up' 'wiggle' of the mouse or press "Esc"; 'Enter' etc etc.  Its very frustrating because I have to press several keys at random and then wait about 5 minutes for the screen saver turns off.  I'm still on Windows 7 and it is up to date.

  No idea how to get the screensaver to respond normally again?

  screen saver does not work when magic jack is pluged in. unplug taking magic, the screensaver works properly.

  09/05/10 the MagicJack has released an update that prevents the screen saver and "standby" mode. They are aware that people are upset on this issue, but they seem not to care.

  Here is a simple solution to the problem. I've used it since 10/09/10 and it works perfectly.

  Restore the functionality of screen saver / display after MagicJack diverted these features...

  Click on the Start button in Windows 7

  type cmd in the search box

  Right click on cmd and run as administrator if you are not running as an administrator it will not work!

  type: powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS magicJack.exe DISPLAY

  Make sure that you type the capitol letters and lowercase no look of magic make 'J' ack it's capitol as well!

  Press enter

  Now unplug your magicjack

  Restart your computer and let the unplugged MagicJack

  Once the computer starts together your screensaver for a minute then let it sit for a minute activate screen saver...

  Now plug your magic let sit for one minute Alto screen saver is now active!

  If you want to activate the sleep as well, follow the same instructions as above, but simply type this line instead.

  type: powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS magicJack.exe DISPLAY SYSTEM
  
  If you follow these instructions, your sleep/screen mode will work as before.
