How to make a screensaver run in delphi 2009 on xp/vista

[darkyere]

i have made a screensaver and what i want is to disable alt-tab, ctrl-esc, the windows button (the one between ctrl and alt i mean)

ive tryed using many different versions of

SystemParametersInfo( SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, integer(true), @i, 0);
SystemParametersInfo( SPI_SETFASTTASKSWITCH, 1, @i, 0);

but its not working on xp and vista...

i would appreiciate the help if any now how to make a screensaver run in xp and vista.

best regards,
Darkyere

There are plenty, however, ive not tried running them under vista.

Try posting on the embarcadero forums - if anyones going to know people there will.

There's a lot more to screen savers than just renaming EXE to SCR.

See http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=6914 for an example.

Yep, screen savers have specific functions in such as the config screen etc. I know Ive written a few following various googled tutorials in the past, so have a google.
