| 653741 | 2008-03-28 23:03:00 | When I have my microsoft wireless keyboard & mouse plugged in, my computer doesn't automatically turn off the monitor or show the screen saver. I read it was due to an incompatibility with power DVD, so I uninstalled it & it hasn't fixed the problem. Any ideas? |

| 653742 | 2008-03-29 00:43:00 | This may or may not work - but wont hurt either--- Assuming you are using XP, right click My Computer/Properties/Hardware Tab/Device manager--- Scroll down to the USB devices, the one you want is the one that the transmitter for the wireless is attached to, right click it/properties/Power Management - either tick or untick ( opposite to whats there now) on the check box that says " Allow the Computer to turn off this device" IF its Vista - click start/in the search type in Device Manager double click the result and do the same as above. |

That didn't help. I'm running XP |

| 653744 | 2008-03-29 06:23:00 | Another MS site says to go to the windowsupdate site and see if Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data Filter appears under Optional Hardware Update If its there install it. But it says to plug in a wireless receiver before you go here Hmm altho I've just seen a site that says this can conflict with ATI drivers, and make u crash (On Vista that is) |

| 653745 | 2008-03-29 06:43:00 | Or try this from another site Go to Device Manager, select Human Interface devices, and update drivers . Did so - it promptly downloaded and installed - guess what? Yup - the HID Non-User Input Filter - even shows it now in Device Manager . |

| 653746 | 2008-03-29 09:14:00 | updating the hid filter worked thanks. I thought I had already checked windows update, but obviously I hadn't :o | Greven (91) | ||
