How do I add a program (as oposed to an icon or picture) to function as my
screensaver? I just added a program that displays and anolog clock and I want to make this clock as my screensaver so I can at least always have the time displayed. Any suggestions? I am running XP Home. |

As far as I know, a program has to be written specifically to function as a screen saver.
http://www.tucows.com/preview/245650 Is one free download. Others can be found by searching www.google.com for "analog clock screensaver" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...screensaver%22 -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

FYI-- when importing screen saver programs to XP Home:
Eliminating the space character from the screen saver filenames fixed the screensaver startup problem on my XP Home installation. (Per other posts, Power DVD and/or wireless mouse was not my problem.) If your screen saver filename(s) contain space character(s), make copies of all associated files in their same folder(s). Files generally reside in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. Edit each copy’s filename to eliminate space characters. Do not alter or delete the original files. If there is a .log or other text file that contains associated paths and/or filenames, edit this file also. Select the new filename in the Display Properties Screen Saver drop down list. Perhaps it will work properly this time. |
