Yes, you are right, I misinterpreted this question. &nbsp;I see now that the user was indeed asking about Windows in general and not his app.<br />

On place to look is...<br />
<br />
Look at &quot;SystemParametersInfo&quot; the call supports parameters such as...<br />
SPI_GETSCREENSAVERRUNNING<br />
SPI_GETLOWPOWERACTIVE<br />
SPI_GETPOWEROFFACTIVE<br />
<br />
Also you could consider running a tread at low priority (see SetThreadPriority), and trying to figure out if you are getting the lions share of the CPU.<br />
<br />
In general good luck - none of this stuff is going to work reliably for you. :-(

Detect Win95/Win98 idle state

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
