You will have to intercept all the mouse and keyboard events. Then you can set everything to your liking.

Sorry mate, because I'm not a native English speaker either I could not understand your post #3 very well. I believe I understood it now. I think you want your application to wait and then after a minute show itself. Well , as I said watch for KeyPress and MouseMove events. If after a minute nothing happens, show your screen. You could probably install your app in the system but I have no experience with that.

Why would you think your screensaver won't start?
We gave you code, start doing something with it.
It is impossible we will do it for you, believe me.

Are you trying to create a custom screensaver manager? Because windows handles the wait X amount of time of idle before starting a screensaver, that's all part of the operating system. all you do is create your program and change its .exe extention to .scr and put it in the system32 directory. windows screensaver dialog will automatically find it and put it in the list of screen savers in the Display properties of the system.
There is much more to it. I actually created a custom screen saver from scratch in C#, works amazingly well, even the preview int he display dialog works, Its all based on command line args, do some studding up. all the information is there on the net. If I did it, anyone can. I have no training, no college, just a High School Diploma, and the internet.
