to play with the monitor settings, check out the following api functions in the msdn api reference: changedisplaysettings enumdisplaysettings these are wrapped by pywin32, and will allow you to change resolution, frequency, etc. (dont think you can turn monitor off through these, but i may be wrong, i havent used these myself...) as to the keyboard... i dont think you can "turn off" the keyboard, but if you want to disable all keyboard input, you can just hook all messages (use setwindowhookex api, or the pyHook module, which wraps setwindowhookex and makes things more convenient), and block them. -d _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
