What
is a screensaver?
Originally
designed to stop image burn on computer
screens, but most modern computers can now turn the monitor off after a
period of non-use and that's to be encouraged if the computer is going
to be left for any long period. Now screensavers tend to be used to
hide the screen while you're away from your desk, or to display some
interesting image or message while the computer is not being used.
Requirements
for the screensaver on this page:
This
should work with any PC (sorry Mac users, maybe
latter we'll get some for you). It does not use
DirectX and so requires no special screen drivers. The faster your PC
the smoother the results, but it's been designed to work well with
older computers as well as faster, newer ones.
Save the
screensaver below by right clicking on the link.This
will allow you to save the
file wherever you wish. File size is approximately 8.79 megs.

Then to
install the
screensaver, open your file manager and find where you saved the above
file. When double clicked you will open this file with a .zip
file utility. Inside the .zip file you will find an .exe
program. Just double click it to install and follow the
directions on the screen. This screen saver was not created with
any malicious adware or spyware (or even friendly *wink*). There
is an "uninstall" program imbedded into the screensaver also.
Also
to
select a screensaver, or change how
long it takes to appear—you need to change settings within
Windows. To
find these settings right click on your desktop then select
'properties' followed by 'screen saver'. Alternatively, go to your
control panel, double click the 'display' option then select 'screen
saver'. Consult your Windows help for further information.
If you have
problems or questions please
write the creator of the screensaver.
