Hi All,

I wrote a simple sendkeys program to alt+tab through applications on a pc. For some reason the system does not recognize the key strokes as far as resetting the screensaver timeout time.

Is sendkeys supposed to work like that? If so, how else can I prevent the screensaver from coming up? Will movemouse work? Is there a resetscreensavertimer command/API?

Thanks,

Tim
