Default Will Screen Saver mess up LS1Edit?

I've disabled all Standby/Powersave features. Just curious if the screen saver could mess anything up?

Thx!

I nix EVERYTHING on the laptop that I use. Not really worth losing a PCM over a pretty screen saver.

Anything that could interupt programming is risky.
Why chance it. I uncheck the startup items in the systems config utility, turn off air con and radio and do not open windows while programming. Obsesive?

I have my ss cut off, along with standby stuff. It's not running long enough to hurt anything.
And I cut the radio/fan off just so there's no battery draining happening.

Disable the screen saver like it says. Follow instructions. It is rare that it will foul up the PCM by WHY would you want to take a chance? Beside, the programming is fast enough that your screen saver shouldn't even have time to come up. Set it for at least 15 minutes and you will be OK. Disabling it and anything else is best. Your PC will run faster too.
