Vista screensaver resets player

When watching a movie, I find I have to move the mouse every so often to make sure the screensaver kicks in, because if it does, it completely resets DVD playback (like, all the way back to the corporate logo or FBI warning you get when you first start up the DVD).

This is on Vista, even when running the player in full-screen (which, it would seem, does not suppress the screensaver).

The workarounds for this are pretty obvious:  move the mouse every few minutes, or turn off the screensaver...

YUP! I vote for turning off the screen saver.  Interesting because the player turns off the screen saver in XP.  Damn Vista.

Hmm.  This used to happen with me, but I haven't had a problem with it for awhile.
