USB mouse disables screen saver
Hi,
I have an Inspiron 1100. When I attach a MS Optical Wireless Wheel mouse the screen saver stops working.
As soon as I remove the USB mouse and start using the touchpad, the screen saver starts working again!!
I am using the latest version of Synaptics (7.6.4.0).
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Bob

Bob,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
If your external mouse requires additional drivers, I would suspect that these drivers may be conflicting with the power management settings on your computer. You should remove the drivers for both pointing devices and then reinstall those for the pointing device that you wish to use.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried as you suggested, but still nothing.
Any other ideas?
