Default Disable screensavers from Excel

To whom it may concern,

Is there a way to disable the Windows XP screen saver from an Excel macro?
I'm using Excel 2003, and a "National Company" version of Windows XP where
the control of the screensaver has been removed from the users. When I'm
running an Excel macro over a large data file, the screensaver starts to
activate. As the CPU's resources are being used by Excel at the time, the PC
freezes. I'm wondering if there's some code that can be added to the macro
to prevent that.
