Vista screen saver w/wireless laser mouse

I’d been racking my head for a couple of days over why my screen saver won’t kick in on my new PC running Microsoft Vista Ultimate.

After trying several modifications to my screen saver properties, I stumbled upon a Windows Update that was listed under the “Windows Ultimate Extras”. It’s listed as Microsoft – Other Hardware – HID Non-User Input Data Filter. After installing that update (no reboot required), the screen saver worked fine.

Problem importing into Lightroom 1.0 on Vista

After getting my new PC, loaded with Vista Ultimate, I’ve experience trouble importing some photos from my Nikin D70s camera. I did some research and discovered the resolution.

Vista does not like the forward slash that Lightroom uses when importing using “by date” organization. You can simply double-click on the path within the “organize” box (with the check mark on it), you can modify it and replace it with a backslash. The import should work fine after that.

Cheers! Happy importing!
