alternately, screen savers do not in fact save your screen at all.... here is what you can do.
Enter your screen saver properties screen and hit settings, disable screen savers and disable the computer from turning off hard disks and disable it from going to system standby. Enable the screen to trun off entirely after a certain amount of time.
Not only will this actually save your screen, things will always keep running on your computer and nothing will freeze when you go away. This is what I do.... but it isn't for everyone, I spend way too much time at my computer for my own good.
