windows xp 3D screensaver

[Eric Hook]

hi

Is this screensaver supposed to only appear for a second, disappear, then
come back a few minutes later. Is there any way of getting it to stay on?

No, when I first downloaded it I had trouble too, it was OK after I updated
my video drivers from the ATI site.

P.S. and redownloaded DirectX 9.0C (it was damaged)

Do all video drivers get updated there. I have a directx video driver. I
know that is up to date, so is there something else that needs to be
updated?

Thanks
Peter.

p.s
your computer is pentium 4, 1 g ram, 3.0 ghz. ??? Is that right/ what
kind?

Hi,
My PC is from MDG Canada. Yes its chip speed is 3.00ghz and its also dual
HT (dual channel), 1gig memory (Ram) and 160gb Hard Drive.
Depending on which graphics card you have - it may not be ATI, you should
check.
A great tool to tell you exactly whats on your machine is Belarc Advisor
here: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and another one Everest (all
free) here:

The important thing to remember when updating video drivers is to read the
release notes first before downloading to make sure that the driver is the
appropriate one for your graphics card.
