FAQs

Q) HOW TO MANUALLY START A SCREENSAVER.
Ans. 1. Start CONTROL PANEL (generally found under SETTINGS on START menu). 2. Select DISPLAY. 3. Select SCREEN SAVER tab. 4. Select the PREVIEW button (or change the WAIT time to 1 minute and wait). If you use mouse, be careful not to move mouse afterward or screensaver will stop right away. (Besides using the mouse, you can use the TAB key to move the highlighted/box area to the PREVIEW button and then press the ENTER key.) When done viewing screensaver, just move your mouse. It is very important to exit this window when you are finished.

Q) Why are your 3D screensavers very slow and jerky
Ans. 1. Make sure you have the latest version of the drivers from the manufacturer of your video card. 2. Try to change the resolution settings of the 3D screensaver to 640x480x16 or turn off other screensaver options. 3. Sometimes a program (some Internet connections, communication/chat programs and media players) will access the system periodically and terminate or disrupt the 3D screensaver. Try disabling these types of programs to see if it makes a difference.

Q) Do any of these screensavers work on a Mac?
Ans. Sorry to tell you, but no, they don't work on Macs. The categories of our site that will currently work on a Mac are the following:

The "Free Photo Wallpapers" section
The "Free eCards" section
The "Free Flash Games" section
The "Cool Quizzes" section
And there's a great selection of downloadable Mac games in the "Free PC Games" section


Q) "Flash.ocx" Error. I just downloaded one of your screensavers, but when I try to preview it, it gives me an error message saying "Could not find the file "flash.ocx". How do I fix this?
Ans. Here's how to fix the infamous flash.ocx error message...

Double click on My Computer on your desktop
Go to your Local Disk C
Go to the Windows folder
Go to your System32 Folder
In the System32 folder look for the Macromedia folder and click on it
Right-click on flash9.ocx. Click on Copy, then left click and select Paste.
Now right click on that copied file and rename the file to flash.ocx
Do not delete the original flash9.ocx file

That should solve the problem for you! Now you can enjoy your screensaver!! :-)
