Hi
I am watching movies via VGA on my TV.

The screensaver is greyed out in Control Panel, as it is a work laptop, but registry is open.

I have set all screensaver registry keys to 0.

I am able to stop the screensave appearing and asking locking the machine (yes I know slightly misleading title), but after 10 mins (or watching the movie, thus nothing happening on laptop) or so the laptop screen goes black and thus the tv screen goes black too, though movie continues to play.
Don't have to login, just touch the touchpad to get it going again.

Any ideas of stopping this from occuring?

A crude idea might be a small app that moves the mouse around to stop timing out, but does seem crude.
 
thats not a screen saver... that's power saving.... turn off display after 10mins :p
 
Just checked Power Setting and that was probably it.
I have set them to Never for plugged in, but now I think about it, it was unplugged.

Cheers, stupid but obvious mistake there
