Prevent Screen saver from running

[tedi1]

Hi,
I need to create a program that all it does is to prevent the screen saver from getting started. The problem is that the user computer this software is designed for has no Permissions to enable or disable the screen saver.
I have tried to create a program that will move the mouse pointer but no luck there either (the pointer moves but doesn't prevent the screen saver from running.
Are there any other suggestions?
The program will run on XP.
Thax in advance

You could try opening Notepad in the background and sending keys to it on a timer.

TomThumbKP thank you for the quick response,

I need to have minimum disturbance to the running program. There for playing with the mouse pointer was a good idea. I thing opening a Notepad will be too much
