I am working with MS Test and due to the nature of this program the
screen saver will kick on while one of my test scripts is running
messing up the synchronization.  The easy, obvious fix is to turn off the
screen saver but I rather my users not have to remember to do that all the
time (we don't want the screen saver permanently off.)

Is there some windows call that will disable the screen saver that I can
call when my script begins and a corresponding call to reenable it when
the script is done running. Is there some other way to "fool" the screen
saver so it never comes on??? (without messing up the other stuff that
is running)


Please respond via e-mail as I don't read news regularly.
Thanks!!!
