Well I can shed a bit more light myself now… Use SetWindowsHookEx to install a system wide hook for the MouseProc and trap any WM_MOUSEMOVE messages. Send them to your ScreenSaver main window and it will terminate in the usual way with a mouse movement. Then unhook your MouseProc. Unfortunately, if you are using a password protected screensaver you will find that this completely hangs your machine when Windows tries to create the password dialog box before you have changed video modes and before you have removed your hooks. I don't know what to do about this yet. Deleting AAVGA.DLL doesn't really help because then you are no longer playing full screen anyway. Does AAVGA.DLL kill *all* other system activity? I mean will comms be interrupted if AAVGA.DLL is playing something fullscreen? Paul.
