Screensaver problem :-p

[Guest]

Hello

Suppose I'm running a program that takes a good bit of processing power. My
screensaver is set to come on after 3 minuites. I go away from the keyboard
for a few minuites. The 3 minuites run out and the screensaver tries to
engage, but can't engage right away because of the program that takes a good
bit of processing power. I return and start using my comp again. Instead of
dropping what it's doing, it's startup process, and disengaging right then
like it should, the screensaver insists on engages fully and interrupting me
before it response to my inputs by disengaging. How do I get a running
process to interrupt itself *NOW* instead of it insisting on finishing what
it's doing before stopping?

Thanx in advance

press and hold together
Ctrl + Alt + Del

processes tab > go to process >right click > end process

Im sorry if this sounds remedial to you but I had trouble understanding the
rest of whatever it was you said.

Is it so important you keep a screensaver? be careful, the right of way
conflict can corrupt, and all for the sake of a pretty picture!!
