No sorry, I don't use Windows Mail. I'm currently stuck using Outlook 2002... (with 10 email addresses...) :)

One thing about those wireless keyboard/mouse setups, is that sometimes the mouse moves by itself. I've seen it plenty of times on different computers... And a moving mouse breaks the screensaver, of course. You may have seen it yourself sometimes: Just typing away happily on your computer, when all of a sudden you notice your mouse starting to wander off... :)

Mine does it sometimes, in the up/left direction every time... (And that's actually a wired Logitech mouse).

to get rid of cursor creep or mouse moving on its own

In windows xp go to start ... then control panel.... then click on appearance and themes.... then to ...mouse....then pointer options ...uncheck ...enhance pointer precision... and click ...OK... that will stop the mouse from acting crazy, this will work with dell mouse pointers and most others...
nojoy
sometimes just reinstalling the drivers will cure the mouse creep
