I think the point is that screen savers are pretty pointless anyway. (Unless you're on a terminal you wish to automatically protect with a password whenever you're leaving your desk.) When you're using a chess program for analysis, you won't want the screen saver to kick in and steal CPU time, right? Especially the Fritz 5.32 GUI is very sensitive towards other programs running, so it would slow down analysis to a crawl. --- Shep
