How do you prevent the screen saver from appearing while using a gamepad to play a game? The screen saver appears when the keyboard and mouse is not used during gameplay.

You must disable the screen saver within Display properties. Check this link for more information

Hi Pacer,
I use either the Blank or Windows XP screensavers,
and while playing Halo using only my Saitek gamepad,
I have never had that problem.
Are you using a custom screensaver?
What type of Gamepad are you using?

I am using the starfield screen saver. The gamepad is a saitek p880 dual analog. If I dont use the keyboard or mouse at all during gameplay the screen saver appears.

I'm using the exact same gamepad. Try switching to one of
the screensavers that I use, or disable yours before playing.
BTW nice pad.
