Can any one recommend a free screensaver programme, I did a google but there are thousands and some come with built in adverts! I would like to be able to make one with no ads and no viruses! any tips.
Hi Hmmm yeah its prefferably able to able to download from our village website ie we take the photos and then make the screensaver and package it up and upload it to the server then our veiwers can download it and install it on their PCs thats the plan that Mrs Digi has any thoughts on that?
Hi Digi,
Do you only want the screensaver for yourself?
i.e. You don't want to email it to people etc.
If you do want a basic screensaver for yourself have you tried the built in Windows one?
Create a folder somewhere and add the images etc. you want to use. Then go to the normal 'screensaver' (Display Options) and pick the "My Pictures Slideshow".
You can then 'browse' to the folder you created earlier and change the setting/effects as required.
When you want to add/change images just put them in the folder you made.
The screensavers are saved in WINDOWS\system32\*.scr in case that helps.
NB. Screensavers can easily be malicious so go careful if you open .scr files up from unknown sources!
If this is of no help at all and you are after something else - just say ;¬)
