  I contacted HP and they said that it was the Microsoft wireless mouse. I have used this mouse with another HP and NEVER had a problem. BUT I changed the mouse for a Logitech wireless mouse and the screen saver works.

• Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off. I have to shut my computer down several times a day to turn off the monitor.

  Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off.  So, I shut down my computer and restart several times a day, because when I put it in mode 'sleep', he wakes to the top in a few minutes and will not fall asleep.  I could put a blanket on my screen when not in use, but I'd rather find a way to make it stay asleep when I tell him.

  Light (switch) had already done once before and I was so worried that once I turned off the monitor that I would never get it new on... a bit short of money here, to buy a new monitor, but the next day, I pressed the power button with an additional downward pressure and I could so he could start working again (able to turn the market monitor).  It was about 3 weeks ago.  Now, the light stays green, unless I stop the whole computer.

  Maybe my main problem is sleep mode, which removes the screen for like 2 minutes and then he wakes up to the top and is so rude when I myself and try to sleep, I just turn off the monitor everytime I put the computer to sleep.

  Now, I can't turn off the monitor, except by turning off the computer.

• My screen saver does not work all the time, usually this seems to happen once the aircraft stopped in the energy saving mode.

  Original title: my screensaver does not work all the time

  My screen saver does not work all the time.  First time I have turn on computer, it works OK.  Later in the day, this isn't.  Usually, this seems to happen once the aircraft stopped in the energy saving mode.  After the reactivation of the computer (do not), the screen saver does not work when it should. How to run all the time?  I am running Kapersky Internet Security 2011.  This would be closed by the screen saver?

  Hi garybuyit,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Just so I'm clear, updated you the graphics cards in Device Manager? You have access to a Windows XP installation disc. If so, follow the steps in this document to make a scan of the SFC. This analysis will attempt to repair or replace any missing or corrupted system files.

• 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.

• Screen saver does not start automatically

  original title; SCREEN SAVER DOES NOT START AUTOMATICALLY

  My screensaver stopped automatically to come if I use an excerpt it's turns on and will remain lit.  How can I fix or can uninstall and reinstall?

  It becomes a problem growing with the screen savers. The issue is background programs and services that are enough tasks that the computer never thinks that it becomes "inactive". Programs cannot do any real work, but are cycling through their operations individual enough to keep the computer "awake".

  Try to start your computer with a "clean boot", (see Microsoft Support articles below). If this resolves the issue and you definitely want your screen saver, you'll have to discern what substantive programs and services that you can live without being active all the time, and turn them off.

  For what it's worth, the systems that I watched recently with this problem were 'smart phone' synchronization software recently installed and who is constantly looking for something to synchronize with regardles to know if they are connected to what whether or not. Change the start of these programs and services 'on demand' to 'always' solves the problem in these cases.

  Hello

  On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

  You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

  Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

  Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

  Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

  When finished, restart the laptop.

  If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

• 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?

  Hi Christine,

• Satellite PRO U300 does not turn off

  Hello

  I am facing a problem for the last few days on my Satellite PRO U - 300 (31st PSU)...

  The machine does not turn off and the power light stays on (blue LED) even after you have disabled. In fact, happened 3 - 4 times when I start the computer normally by pressing the power button / stop, it does not start and I noticed that the indicator was not extinguished even after + shut down +. Like any it is blocked! I have to finally, remove and reinsert the battery to start the laptop.

  Some details of my pc are as under:

  Version of the OS Microsoft® Windows Vista Business 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1
  BIOS Version V2.00
  Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T7100 @ 1.80 GHz

  Can someone help me solve this problem. Is it possible that during the uninstallation of programs, any perticular driver file is also deleted?
  Thank you

  JITENDRA

  Hello

  I don't know that you understand the indicator of power, but to me it sounds like AC Power LED and this LED is always on when the laptop is connected to the power supply.

  Power on / off LED is probably what you mean (the other starting on the left).
  Anyway, you turn off your laptop using a standard on the Start button?
  Are you sure you want to use the Hibernate mode.

  Believe me, the entire description here is pretty confusing to me. It may be that the laptop is turned OFF but power light is still on.

  Have you installed something 4 days ago? Or deleted some important application?
  Sorry, but it is not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here.

• My computer does not turn off, it crashes on closing.

  My computer does not turn off, it crashes on closing.  I have to press the Start button, in the hold, and then after 20 seconds it turns off.  Often when I turn on the next time, it sometimes says Windows is not stopped successfully, but I know that all my programs had been closed.

  My computer is Dell and my package is Windows Vista.  I have McAfee security set up and I bought Uniblue to try to help, but not joy.

  I wouldn't use anything done by Uniblue, it does not work. It will make things worse.

  I would like to uninstall Mcafee, and then use the removal tool to remove it completely. Install rather program AV from Microsoft.

• HP 4585 Wireless does not turn off

  I have a HP Photosmart C4585 all - in - one printer and it does not turn off using the power button.

  I have already disconnected the cable, waited more than an hour and it has not solved the problem.

  I also completely uninstalled and reinstalled without success.

  Maybe it isn't a huge problem, because it does not work, I don't think it's good to keep it on all the time and wasting energy.

  Please let me know.

  Thank you very much, printer is fixed, I can turn on and off, and even the wireless signal is back.
