Preventing Screen Saver Activation

[PosseJohn]

Would like to prevent the screen saver from activating, thus preventing the
need to log back onto the LAN every 10-minutes.

Using ACC2003.

Any references would be appreciated.

hi,
I think you can control this using registry key ScreenSaveActive under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

I am not familiar of how to control/manipulate registry keys...any further
information would be beneficial.

Basically, I'm looking for a way to 'tickle' the processor, so that the
screen saver doesn't activate.

Hi,
first try to change this key manually and see if it helps. if yes - you can
use SetKeyValue proc to do so in VBA from here:
