I personally do this as part of my shut down & power managemment ,
using W98se .

During boot up , press Delete & in the Power Management page , make
sure it is set to Disable .

During install , no screensavers are selected . To remove , there
are many ways . One is to Open up Control Panel , select Add/Remove
Programs & click on Windows Setup . Go down to Accessories & click
on details . Untick Screensavers .

While Control Panel is open , click on System , then Device Manager .
Click on the + next to System devices ( down the bottom ) & if
Power Management ( or a similar name ) is there , delete it .

I then setup Power Management ( In Control Panel ) the way I like it ,
( set the screen to shut 1st & the power later ) I never have any
problems . John .
