My XP MicroSoft-generic ScreenSaver starts OK - but -
after a couple of minutes
it reverts back to a normal screen.
.
This has been the case since I re-installed XP-Pro.
.
I want ScreenSaver to stay activated until
I decide to use the computer again
.

Be sure you have the latest drivers for your mouse.
Make sure no light source is interfering with optical mouse.
Disable "Wake on LAN" in the BIOS.

.
ThankYou for the reply about my screenSaver problem.
.
My "awake on Lan" has never been on - but -
I will check it on the next boot.
.
My wired TrakBall may or may not have a most current driver -
I am going to check on it..
.
Thanx again.
