Windows Vista Screen Saver Problems

Last Month I purchased a new labtop which came with Windows Vista pre-installed.  I haven't had any problems with the labtop or Vista; however, I couldn't get the screen saver to turn on automatically.  After researching and troubleshooting, I realized that it stopped working when I plugged in my 'Microsoft' usb optical mouse.  It seems absurd to me that a Microsoft hardware product wasn't tested on Windows Vista before being released (sarcasm). 

After reading blogs and Microsoft technical documents, I fixed the problem by downloading the lastest software for my mouse.  You can download the lastest mouse software here. Hopefully this post will save someone the trouble of researching the issue.
