I'd also like to prevent a screen saver from appearing. And also prevent PC from going into standby mode.
Any ideas out there on how to achieve this?
Obviously I could disable these things in Windows. But I just want to the app to appear "busy" so the PC doesn't go to sleep or anything.

Thanks. That would work. But ideally, I'd love to have a simple "pure G" solution. Or maybe a simple WinAPI call or something.

There is a VI under
Programming >> Dialog and User Interface
It is named "Generate Front Panel Activity". That should do the trick.

I think someone may have posted a solution using a WinAPI call. I don't think the Generate Front Panel activity works. I remember trying a lot of software ways of doing this and I don't remember any of the working. It was a case where it really needed to get down to the hardware level to prevent the IT mandated screensaver password lockout from occurring.
