i tought the screensaver wasn't supposed to kick in when using the
media center? how do i disable the screen saver when using the media
center?

Hello,

The screensaver does not kick in when Media Center is being run in full
screen mode. The screen-saver *does* kick in when the Media center is being
run in a window. Currently there is no workaround for this. You might want
to post your question in the MCE newsgroups for more expert advice.
