Watching a Movie in Guest OS (WinXP) activates OSX ScreenSaver.

Hi:

When watching a movie in Windows XP (at full screen), in a seperate Space, the OSX screen saver activates. The movie is being streamed (Netflix)... I only have two spaces allocated, and was wondering if there is a way to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

EDDIE

I am having the same issue. I have an HAVA network video streaming device that the software only works on windows so far. I am using this as a tv for now but the host's screensaver keeps starting after the set 10 minutes.

My Guest windows version is Windows XP SP3 and the host os is Mac OS 10.5.5 using VMWare Fusion 2.0.1

Thank you in advance and if you need any other information, please ask me.

While probably not the solution you were hoping for, nonetheless it's very simple... Turn Off the Screen Saver in OS X! Smiley Happy
