Need input/guidance on an odd computer issue
Basically, I have this problem with my computer that happens (only sometimes) when my computer has been in screen saver mode where the mouse just freezes and you have to unplug it and plug it back in to be able to use it again. I think it has something to do with 64-bit OS compatability issues and bad patches etc.
What i want to know is is there anyway I can have a program running so that it can tell when my comp goes into screen saver mode, then comes out of it and use something like
Anyway, any input/guidance would be useful.

I swear you can't fully turn it off though. I'm sure on my old computer it just went to a black screen instead of screen saver. I'll try anyway.
And yes i am a retard for not thinking of something so simple :( ... i just have programming on the brain!!
