I was curious as to what code comes *after* this code, but I assume that you run a form or menu and have a READ EVENTS. In which case, this should work fine.

An example of it going out of scope would be something like below. Or, if you used RUN /N to run another .exe, and your current .exe would cease to exist.

* main program
clear
set talk off
set exact on
disableScreenSaver()

do form ....
read events

return

procedure disableScreenSaver
   oSaver = newobject('ScreenSaver','scrnsave.prg')
   oSaver.disableScreenSaver
   * oSaver will go away now, and the screen saver will be enabled again...
endproc
