    Help with screensaver when using Media center

    I would like to know if anyone could help here, i am trying to stop the screensaver coming on during playback of music using media center, i have unticked and managed to prevent it running when using Media Player 11 but can't seem to find a way of doing this in MC, i know the obvious solution is to dissable the screensaver, but is there a way round this?

    set your screensaver to be displayed at a longer time, eg/ set it to 3 hours rather than 5 minutes
