Try this to activate
    char sscr[MAX_PATH];
    char WindowsDir[MAX_PATH];
    GetWindowsDirectory(WindowsDir, MAX_PATH);
    GetShortPathName(((AnsiString)WindowsDir + "\\" +
SCREENSAVERNAME).c_str(), sscr, MAX_PATH);
    WritePrivateProfileString("boot", "SCRNSAVE.EXE", sscr, "system.ini");
    SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, TRUE, NULL, 0);
    SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVETIMEOUT,
60*StrToInt(Edit4->Text), NULL, 0);

and this to remove
    WinExec("rundll32.exe desk.cpl,InstallScreenSaver (None)", SW_HIDE );

Hope it helps,
Dave
