Ok - this has been happening quite a bit -
I have WinXP SP2.
I have the screen saver set to turn on after 5 minutes. Sometimes I use My Picture Slide Show and most recently I changed it to Blank Screen. It doesn't matter.
The monitor is set to shut off after 1 hour.
The hard drive is set to never shut off.
The computer is set to never shutdown or hibernate.
Yet, sometimes, after sitting for a while, I can come back to the computer, attempt to move the mouse to get back to the desktop (and deactivate the screen saver) but nothing happens.
I can press anything on the keyboard, roll the mouse, press the mouse buttons but nothing.
The only way to get it back is to do a hard shutdown and reboot.
Is there a simple fix that I am missing?
