Question 1:
I have written a screen saver and it ran in Window95 OK but it was invoked every the timer up.So lots of the screen saver program was running under window98 ?
Question 2:
How to disapper the password input box from Screen Saver itself when it is invoked.

Answer to question one. I just discovered this last night. You will need to only grab the first 2 charecters of the command line when the screen saver is invoked. This is because some of the possible command line arguments now have a handle sent with them.
The other thing I had happen was the screen saver getting invoked over and over and over. To get arround this I used the App.PrevInstance to see if it was running. I have only been running the screen saver for about 12 hours but that seemed to fix my problems.
