any suggestions? Mine is pretty basic, but effective. I use the Windows Live Photo Gallery screensaver, and it randomly shuffles through my 1,500+ wallpaper images. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

How about running a video as screen saver. Here is how:
In Windows 7 you have to go via Windows Live Photo Gallery. If you do not have it yet on your system, download it from Windows Live Essentials http://download.live.com/?wa=wsignin1.0
Then do the following steps:
· Open Live Essentials Photo Gallery
· Click on File
· Click on > Screen Saver Settings (This will open the Screen Saver Settings)
· Browse to your folder with the video and open it (OK)
· In the Use this theme list box, select Album
· Then do Save
· Now run Preview and see whether it works
Remind you that the video format must be .wmv. If you have another format, convert it with Format factory http://www.formatoz.com/ | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway - 2 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to 2.5GHz Quad Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse terrible devices, who wants them Hard Drives 5x HDD, 2x SSD, 6x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

Nah...
I remember that I used a cool screen saver that makes your screen look like a puddle.
With rain drops and everything
Can someone look it up for me? | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
