Vista's Screen Savers

[Scott]

Is it just me, or did Microsoft drop the ball when it came to Vista
screen savers.

None of them are configurable in anyway and I don't find them that
interesting.

I frankly miss some of the ones from XP.

Speaking of screensavers, if you want some free and kick-ass ones,
check this site out.:

But please note: you need a reasonably decent GPU to render them.
They're OpenGL and *very* 3D-intensive.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

I'm now using Marine Aquarium 2.6.

Definitely a superior product.

How did you install them? Where are they supposed to go? I tried
C:\Windows\System32 to no avail.

I just copied them to "C:\Windows\System32". That's it. There is no
installer as they're already .scr files.

You spent 20 bucks on a screen saver? Do you need a bridge?
