Screensaver

Is it possible to prevent the screensaver from initiating when I am watching
a television programme on my PC?

Set your power scheme to presentation mode should do that.

Sounds good - but I don't seem to have it (and can't recall ever seeing it)

Right click your desktop
select properties
select screensaver tab
click power (at the bottom right)
select presentation from the power schemes dropdown box
click ok
hope this helps
