'Password protected screen saver' is not getting activated!!

Hi,

I have an simple MFC dialog based application. On launch of that
application 'Password protected screen saver' is not getting activated
after the screen saver timeout.

If 'On resume, password protect' option unchecked, I am getting the
Screen saver.

Application not generating any of the keyboard or any user events to
disturb the system. If I exit the application every thing works
normal(Means password protected screen saver gets activates after
screen saver time out period.)

Please help me in understanding, why 'Password protected screen saver'
is not getting activated.
Thanks & regard's
Ashwini

When doing a SaveAS on workbook, within a c# program, and the screen saver has activated, I always get the error message: "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources". I've looked at google and msdn and neither seem to have a solution for this scenario. I've tried to disable the screen saver from code, but security policy doesn't allow me to.

Hi all, I'm still working on my Caller ID software.

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...

Hi, Our software runs on a XP system attached to a touch screen monitor and smartcard USB reader. We run our own simple corporate screen saver. When the screen is touched the screen saver vanishes, but when a user inserts a smartcard (we're polling for inserts) the screen saver doesn't vanish. Is there any way we can awaken the system and stop the screen saver from code please?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
