Hi guys,

I need your help again, does anyone know how to trigger the screen saver in VB .Net codes without using API? Just use the build in components of VB .Net.
 
You should just be able to start a new process and point to the scr file which is loacted in windows\system32. For more info see faq855-5802

Thanks man but the thing is I wanted to trigger the build in screen saver of the windows and not my own screen saver or maybe change the settings of the windows screen saver without using API. Sorry, I wasn't to clear on what I wanted to do.
 
The windows screen savers are located in the windows\system32 so just point to one of those files.
