I just got tomb raider up and running -- looks great! however, one annoyance -- after i play for a few minutes, my screensaver kicks in. besides the obvious solution of manually turning off my screensaver every time i want to play the game, is there any way to disable screensavers on glidos' load?

p.s. i'm aware of the 'allow screensaver' checkbox options within an executable's pif properties, but toggling it doesn't seem to help here.

p.p.s. joy2key is a great peice of software; very fast and responsive. i would have thought a keyboard remapper program such as this would have supplied the necessary keystroke alerts to windows to prevent a screensaver from kicking in. unfortunately, it doesn't seem to. anyone have an alternative to joytokey which will work in this way?

For a temporary solution you could probably find the registry entry that enables/disables screensaver in windows and create a batch file that disabled/enables screensaver on loading/exiting GliDOS.
