wake from screen power save

Hi,

Is there a way to to "wake" a win xp machine from screen power save using
c#?
I got a computer that turns off the screen after a while and i'm programming
an app that reads smart cards and I want the screen to "power on" as soon as
some one inserts a card to the reader.

that may do what you need here:

Is there a way I can force the screen saver to stop while my program pops up its window? And later resume it normally (with it's default timeout, I don't care) Also, how do I hide my...

First of all, I thought this might be a directory security issue but it's not. I was able to upload the file to the directory via HTTP. Here's the situation.

Hi everyone: I have only found system.windows.forms.application.setsuspendstate method could make system into standby or hibernate state, but I don't know how to reboot the system. And I want to know how to wake up the system after hibernate/standby? For example, if my user input "3" and hibernate, the system should enter hibernate and wake up itself after 3 minutes.
