Why bother? Screensavers are SOOO yesterday...
I don't have W7, but doesn't that have an option to "run as XP" or "run in 32-bit mode" or similar?

There's an XP compatibility mode you can check off by right clicking on the screensaver executable, select properties, then compatibility tab.

Braddah, it don't work like that as have tried prior to posting. People on the Mainland or in New York are no longer using screensavers? No change here.

Who is 'Braddah' ? :??: Screensavers don't do anything since LCD's were put into use. If I really needed one I'd just use one of the ones already in 64bit W7.

Either you are just being funny or you are a 'b'erk (mispelled intentionally). I will assume the former rather than the latter given my good nature. Otherwise, seems like some abuse of power with a moderator abusing a guest on the board. Almost akin to funny stuff going on at a church or the referee betting on the game. Gotta speak up and quash that kind of behavior. BTW, I really didnt ask for an opinion - only how to get a screensaver to work. Braddah is brother aka friend. Have you been to the Islands? Not like New Yawk in abrasiveness to other people. Much different than Coney or the Jersey Shore braddah. Mahalo.
