is there anyway for the screensave to turn on with dual display?

I have an Nvidia card

 

[wjones]

Is there anything with raining day screensaver?

 

[DealMonkey]

The Microsoft page (linked above) mentions:

"Note The screen saver is not supported in multiple monitor configurations."

So I don't think it'll work with Nvidea's Nview (dual monitor setup)...

How the heck is the a HOT DEAL?
It was always free, and it was always available....

I think it's more that some people didn't know about the freebies.
Myself, the only exploring I do at the MS site is windowsupdate.
I just D/Led it. Neato.

This has been around for a while. The best part is you can replace the AVI with anything you want...

 

[drgeoffrey]

Seems really choppy. Is it just my mediocre work computer?

 

[Davemeister]

how do you replace the video file?

side-topic -- anyone have a link to xp clouds wallpaper? would like my win2k work pc to have background to match the new bliss/clouds screensaver...

drgeoffrey, you need a faster computer or better video card.

As for replacing the AVI, it looks like there is a new power toy that lets you use any AVI as a screen saver link

Yeah but is there any way to set a screen saver as your desktop? I've seen a few people do it with their Macs. Is there any similar software for Windows?

Try Vital Desktop. Also, check out Drempels, it's sort of the same idea.

Reminds me of Teletubbies....uh oh......

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

hmm, the power management software seems to recognize this screensaver as activity, it won't switch my monitor off anymore after X minutes

 

[Staples]

The idea of the screen saver is cool however it is just a video that loops. You can change the speed of the video but it is a video none the less.

 

[ModestFever]

Such a nice screensaver... It just became one of my favorites. =) many thanks.

This one isn't a video that loops.

My favorite

The movement of the fish is so cool.

I used to use that...then I just went to blank screen. Just as good

To Nvidia GeForce FX owners:
Beware of 3D screensavers

Does this Bliss saver run a video loop or does it generate random 3D clouds?
Got my answer, nevermind.

 

[huesmann]

Looks like a loop to me...

Edit: are there any other freebies like this one?
