Can I stop screensaver from Automatically starting in PP

[njdevilsfan]

group Policy at my company has the Screensaver tab removed from our machine.
the default time is set for 15 min, for VPN and security reasons.
I am looking for a way to automatically have PowerPoint disable the
screensaver from starting if PowerPoint is open on in a presentation.

You will need to make the request of your sys admin or IT department to have
this policy changed on the presentation computer.

I would suggest that you not try to have it completely removed from all
computers, as it is a good policy for general computer usage. However,
active PowerPoint presentations on the primary presentation computer, should
be allowed to be exempt. Sometimes it helps if you have an 'in' with the
CEO of someone in an administrative capacity.

I would strongly suggest against trying to talk them out of the policy just
so that you can use your PowerPoint presentation as a screen saver -- make a
strong case for a real situation (for instance, like needing to log back
into a computer during a major conference presentation).
