I suggest that, if it is possible, the screen saver to be disabled when in the vugraph theatre, so that I dont have to to touch my mouse every now and then when watching.

I dont know how hart it is to do, but I know some movie players (including Windows Media Player) does this when playing a movie.

Why not adjust the time (in control panel) before your screen saver kicks in; or better still disable it completely as modern screens have no need of a screen saver.

The BBO software could disable your screen saver, but doing that doesn't feel right to me. I don't like it when software changes my PC's settings and, if even a small % of our members feel the same way, I don't want to have to deal with the angry e-mails that are sure to follow.

I VERY much agree with this sentiment on any number of grounds:

1. Why should BBO increase the complexity of the application in order to duplicate functionality built elsewhere in the system?

2. I hate applications that try to control extraneous asects of my system...
