Hey worst thing that could happen is your monitor explodes in a huge mushroom cloud creating a black hole that sucks in the entire western hemishpere.

It will probably work, can't imagine the coding is different on a screen saver.

hey Bill,
ive been trying to find it!
:bang

im usually pretty good with computer stuff,
but i cant find where the screensaver files are hidden!
any idea?

 

[William]

need to go into folder options, show hidden files and might help to check show extensions
think the extension is scr or svr or something
