My father has the exact same problem with OOTP5 and XP on his machine. If he leaves a game to answer the phone or have dinner and he returns to the screen saver his screen is frozen. It got to the point where he would refuse all phone calls and interruptions when playing his games.

I'm not sure if OOTP6 does the same...and since you didn't mention it I suspect you are using OOTP5?

Sporr's answer is the one I gave my dad... turn off the screen saver before starting games, and then reenable it afterwards.
