Default GPO Screen Saver Impacting PowerPoint Slide Show

Hi,
I have AD W2003 GPOs setup on XP PCs as part of standard build.
Users do not have rights to change Screen Saver which is set to 15 mins with
password protection via GPO

I was informed that Directors & Sales are unhappy as PowerPoint Slide Shows
are being locked out ater 15 mins of inactivity, due to GPO settings. I was
under the impression the PP slide show would overwise Screen Saver GPO.

How can I achive this ?

Are there alternatives which allows user to change Screen Saver setting
through Script / EXE before they launch PoerPoint SlideShow ?

Many thanks - Stan
