Screensaver issue (Windows 7 Related)Follow

I am wondering if anyone else is having similar problems with the screensaver and monitor sleep mode in Windows 7? I can't seem to get either to work at all, and I also had the same problems in Vista as well.

what motherboard are you using, and is the bios up to date?

its a MSI board and the bios is up to date. I actually found some posts about this around the net. It seems the optical mouse is not allowing the screensaver to start. I unplugged my Microsoft mouse and five minutes later the screensaver popped up.

I am downloading the filter update now, lets see if that fixes this.

Edited to add:
I just installed the update and it works, finally no more turning off the monitor every time. Thanks for the link and rate up.
