What's it worth to boot up my 98 box?

Re: Windows 98 screensaver

there you go

you'll have to rename it though, changed file extension to .doc so the forum would let me attatch it.

Re: Windows 98 screensaver

Cool - thanks...

Ummm not too sure if this is going to work...

Perhaps I should tell you the issue!

At work we have a large plasma display wich is connected to a PC - it displays some information regarding a customers s network.

When there is a problem - the icons change from green to red. Unfortunately this display has been up for about 3 weeks and is already suffering from screen burn.

So what we wanted to do is put a screen saver which would distort the screen (like this screen saver does), but we could still see the icons change from green to red.

All the screen savers we have tried so far seam to take a snapshot of the current display when the screen saver is executed and it distorts that image.

What we need is something that continues to to update the display and distorts at the same time.

Any ideas?

Lee

i've just tested it with Media Player in visualisation mode, didn't work, as soon as the screensaver clicked in the visualisation froze.
