t0ddie Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 (edited) is there a way for the script to constantly check if the screensaver is not on, then put it back on?

CyberSlug Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 The following screen savers should exist in @SystemDir (typically C:\windows\system32) for Windows XP:logon.scrscrnsave.scrss3dfo.scrssbezier.scrssflwbox.scrssmarque.scrssmypics.scrssmyst.scrsspipes.scrssstars.scrsstext3d.scrBy the way, my code probably requires the latest AutoIt beta version.http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/ Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

t0ddie Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 so, what i really want, is to turn off the monitor. theres a power saving setting... so there must be a way to make the timer on that zero anyone think of anything?

Valik Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Don't move the mouse/keyboard or have any other application running which might reset the idle timer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ddie Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 yes valik, but is there a way to set it to zero? with a script? Valik Note Added 19 October 2006 - 08:38 AMAdded to warn level I just plain don't like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valik Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 yes valik, but is there a way to set it to zero? with a script?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Errr... set it* to 0? With a script? MouseMove()... Send()...Where idle "it" idle is idle an idle idle idle timer idle.Theres a lesson there. Its called ask good questions. Setting an idle timer to 0 means it has to build back up to its threshold in order to be triggered.Now, to answer your question, no, there isn't a way to change an idle timer to advance time, only to reset it. There may or may not be an API to send the monitor into standby (I've seen programs have such a feature). However, I doubt the API is callable from AutoIt and if it was, I doubt it'd be simple enough for you to use without pestering somebody on here to write it for you.
