These are a few of my favorite screen savers I have collected from various sites. They are relatively unsophisticated but take up little space, can be extracted as a single .scr file to your windows/system/"savers" directory with no setup, and do not add junk to your program manager or registry (which makes them easy to remove as well). These were all freeware or shareware, so as far as I know, so long as I receive no compensation or make any creative claim, these can be freely distributed in their unregistered version to whoever would like to use them (so long as they receive no compensation). If the authors of these works feel otherwise please e-mail me and I will remove yours at once. enjoy!
(NOTE: These use runtime files that are shared by other standard windows programs and should already be in your system directory. If for some reason you're missing one just click HERE ).

The following screen savers are larger, more complex and require setup but are well worth the effort and disc space. Some are self-extracting and some need to be un-zipped before running the setup program :

These 3 savers include the CD/Spectrum Pro media player that I opted not to
install in the initial set up program. I already have more than enough players
and I really didn't get much out of the sound synchronization feature.
Visually, however these are the best I've ever seen :
This is version 2 updated November 2001: This one is a stunning array of fire & smoke type effects that is completely free to register. After installation just go to the settings menu and fill out a simple on-line form and they send you a code that eliminates all nag-boxes : The best fireworks screensaver I've seen yet. Highly configurable with great camera angles : This one creates layers of simple and not-so-simple patterns using a variety of art styles. What I like about it is it never does the same thing twice. Also note that this is a 14-day trial program, but it has never quit working although it does remind you to register : This aquarium program is set up so you get tank accessories from points obtained by using your printer. However it would take most people years to get enough points, so after you download this screen saver you may also want the little 17K cheat I included also : Although this saver has been around for a very long time (I used to run it on Windows 3.1), it's still one of my all-time favorites. It goes through a random sequence of redundant events with a surprize every five minutes or so. And yes, the story DOES have an ending : I finally found a decent screen saver manager. This one is low fat, easy to use, and totally free. It's also the only one I've found that rotates your screen savers sequentially or at random. Highly recommended : |
