    Does anyone else have a problem where the screensaver still activates while using windows media player 10 with windows Vista? I've already unticked 'allow screen saver during playback', but it still activates on its own.. The only thing I can think of is perhaps my codecs are causing this prob (I have the CCCP pack installed). Any ideas?

    I dont have vista but i remember having this problem and i had to change something about how you log on to your computer, Sorry i cant remember what exactly it was.
    I think i had to go to>settings >control panel >user accounts> change how a user logs on or off and check the one that says " Use welcome screen"> restart computer> never had the problem again.
