Looking for a screensaver...

Postby homebrewer » Fri Oct 31, 2008 11:23 pm

I am looking for a screensaver that won't put bugs and other trash in my system. I understand they do this. I can't understand why. What I'd really like is one that uses my screenshots or files from My Pictures and rotates them out every five seconds. Is there anything like that out there? Thanks.
My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 8

Exactly what Sean said, Windows will run it's own screensavers using your pics, just have to put them in the right spot.  Vista is even better, it will use your pics AND videos for your screensaver.  XP might do it as well, I never experimented with it.  But just do what Rotty said and you will be rather pleased.
