Basically, you need a Timer control. Set the interval to 5 minutes (convert that to miliseconds, for instance, 5 * 60 * 1000). In the Timer Event, start your screensaver. Note: the Timer Event starts after the elapsed time.
Also, every time the user presses any key, you would have to Reset() the Timer. This is the tricky part. Probably you would need to intercept Form.KeyPress(), set Form.KeyPreview to .T., and do all this in your base form. I don't know how to intercept clicks on the menu.
