Screen Saver Override 2.7

Screen Saver Override is a tool that gives you a flexible screen saver environment. Setting the computers screen saver time to too short an interval will cause the screen saver to become a constant nuisance.
Screen Saver Override enables the user to adjust the screen saver time to a better interval When the computer is in use. Upon starting Screen Saver Override, the screen saver will not activate before a user designated time.
This time should be set to a greater period than the time the screen saver is set to in the control panel (screen saver in the control panel should be set to one or two minutes if this program is installed).
If the computer mouse is moved before the Screen Saver Override time is completed, the Screen Saver Override time is reset to start again.
Thus, if the Screen Saver Override program is running and its screen saver activation time is set to seven minutes, the screen saver will activate only after seven minutes of mouse inactivity.
This way the screen saver will at least activate should the user become involved in other business and forget to set the Screen Saver Override program to standby mode, or quit the program.
