Hello Marc,

As Kees-Jan says, the answer depends on the version and operating system you are using. If you are using Workrave 1.8.5 on Windows I can give instructions for an alternate activity monitor. But first check under your mouse for dust, dirt, hair, smudges, etc.

Workrave 1.8.5 on Windows uses a built in Windows function to check input. Other programs also use the same function. For example, Windows screensaver. Enable your screensaver and set idle time to one minute. If you do not notice your screensaver coming on after one minute of idle it is because Windows detects recent input. A faulty mouse -- like a misfiring laser mouse -- is not the only hardware that can can cause this issue but it is the most likely, like
 99%.

Hi,


The workrave program is not working for me when I have a wireless mouse plugged in. The computer never goes into "rest" mode as I assume that the wireless receiver is continuously sending a signal. Is there a workaround for this?
