PowerPoint is supposed to disable screensavers when it's in slideshow mode.

It's also supposed to return to the first slide if nobody touches anything for
xx minutes; the xx varies by version and as I recall the feature doesn't work
properly in all versions.

Give it a try though ... see if it recycles back to slide 1, given, say, 5 or
ten minutes untouched.
