Let me get this straight: you put screensavers before security?

My suggestion: look for updates on Photodex's web site (or whoever makes
that screen saver authoring program). Surely they're aware of this problem
by now, and (assuming that software represents a significant enough revenue
stream for them) they should have some fix or workaround already available
or, at the very least, should be working on it.
