A few months back you helped me program a way to stop the screen saver if it was running...MouseMove!! Any ideas on how to start the screen saver immediately from code? When the screensaver is Activated it will start when it timesout...maybe setting SPI_SETSCREENSAVERTIMEOUT to 0 will work???

Hi Ray,

Don't worry about the beer. As a matter of fact, that Enable/Disable Screen Saver class may have been the result of your question. Anyway, here's how to start the screen saver:

#define WM_SYSCOMMAND 0x0112
#define SC_SCREENSAVE 0xF140
DECLARE INTEGER SendMessage IN Win32API;
  INTEGER hwnd,	INTEGER uMsg,;
  INTEGER wParam, INTEGER lParam
DECLARE INTEGER GetDesktopWindow IN Win32API
lnhWnd = GetDesktopWindow()
= SendMessage(lnhWnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_SCREENSAVE, 0)

That do the trick for you?
