Default Pause screensaver etc.

Thanks for the quick reply! I am using VLC player mostly but I also use
other programs from time to time, I'm really looking for a windows
solution rather than a specific program solution.

What application are you playing them with?
WMP 11 has an option "Allow screen saver during playback"
Uncheck that in WMP-Tools-Options-Player tab if using WMP

I am sure there must be an easy way to temporarily disable the
screensaver and stop the computer going into hibernation or sleep modes!
I want to make it possible to watch a video file without having to keep
manually deactivating these functions. Can anyone help?
