    Default Override windows energy saver settings

    I have produced a multimedia CD that displays information about my clients stock catalogue. Part of this CD contains a looping slideshow that displays all the stock items. My client wishes to send this CD to his clients . The problem is the windows energy saving settings overrides the projector and the screen goes to the screensaver during the slideshow. While it is easy to change this setting my client does not wish to complicate the matter by having to get his clients to change settings on their computers.

    Is there any way of overriding the windows energy saver settings in Director?

    Thanks --Lee

    Yes, well with the buddyAPI xtra ([url]www.mods.com.au[/url]) anyway. baDisableScreenSaver
    does it; you would then return the screen saver to the state it was before
    disabling it when the projector finishes.
