414837 2005-12-22 08:56:00 I dunno, but i would download it somewhere, ususally the desktop, the go to set the screensaver and 'browse' till I got it and then set it.

but i've never done this with xp pro, only 98 (and I don't know about a shockwave site as a screensaver ok screensavers are usually animated but don't know.............)

This is a shockwave file.

Can you download this file to your hard drive?

414839 2005-12-22 09:30:00 It's blimmin flash all over the place, on a MS Frontpage freakin website, doing freaky things in FF arrggh!! Maybe it would work better viewed from Windows, maybe!

Anyway, this is the main download page (home.tiscali.nl), if anyone can do anything with it, it took me 5 mins just to copy the url.

Not sure, but you'd have to run it as a Flash programme/applet, rather than as a normal screen saver. How good is your system? It might chew up a few cycles.

BTW, the page opened a new tab, blank, without asking. Be aware, it could be a bit nasty on a Windows box.

For better performance, I suggest you set your desktop background/wallpaper and screensaver to "none". I also suggest Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/power schemes/settings/turn off monitor after 10 minutes, and set the next 2 drop down boxes ( 1. Turn off Hard Disks, and 2. System Standby) to "never"/apply/ok/ok.

If not using a laptop, I also suggest Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/hibernate/take check mark out of "Enable hibernation"/apply/ok/ok.

Above is the install file you need, install that then you can pick what clock you want from the screen saver settings.

Note: The link above is to the exe file.
