Screensavers

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Ok, this is a low-priority question! I like unique screensavers, not the
boring ones that come with xp. I was given the Plus! add-on, and it has a
few more screensavers, but still not unique enough for me! Has anyone had a
good experience with an animated screensaver that doesn't crash the system?
I've had REALLY bad experiences with downloaded ones, so I don't want to just
do that again blindly. Recommendations would be most welcome.

... and for the very reasons that you have had bad experiences with
downloaded scr's, the boring ones are best..

If they are crashing your system, you may need to make sure you have the
latest video and sound drivers for your hardware (from the corresponding
manufacturers) and you have the latest Service Pack (2) for Windows XP
(which includes the latest DirectX - 9.0c.)

Thanks you guys, that helps. Some of the screensavers worked ok with my
system but came with a lot of garbage - ads & stuff. I know, I want a free
screensaver without ads
