Monitor Screensaver Problem - Need Comand

Kolob

I have a beta program I am creating, but I can't find a
comand to keep the monitor's built in screen saver from
coming on. Please help and thanks in advance.

Go to Control Panel - Display. Click on the Screen Saver tab. You can turn it
off there.

I have done that, but the monitor it's self has a built in
timer. I am looking for a simple command that is
recognized by the monitor when the application is not
being used. Thanks,

I would have your application simulate somekind of
keystroke to prevent the screensavers from kicking on:

But, why would you want to? If there is a long process
going on, it will still run even if you are in screen
saver mode.
