DSBC Top 100 Images - The Screensaver

Apparently I have too much time on my hands, because I just made up a screensaver for DSBC. It's made up of the top 100 most viewed images from the DSBC forum, put into a slideshow screensaver. I've put it up at http://www.penguinpowered.ca/dsbc/DSBC_Top_100.scr instead of in the photo gallery, as it doesn't allow the upload of .scr files and it exceeds the max size for a post attachment at 9MB.

To just try out the screensaver without installing it, just download and double-click on it. If you want to install it, either copy or move it to your c:\windows\system32 directory, or right click on it and select "install".

Works for me in XP SP3, it's one of hte machines I tested it on. When you say it doesn't work, can you be more specific? And how are you tryin to start it?

Works for me. XP Pro SP3 dual monitor. That's cool 'cause I can run it on one monitor while I type this on another monitor.

Lucky, right after rebooting your computer try going to the downloaded screensaver file, right-click it, then click TEST. If you get a verification box, select RUN. I was having trouble viewing it until I did this.

250ccforme,
After reboot:
Test doesn't work,
Preview too.
But screen saver starts. One more problem appeared: turn PC OFF :) . It can't close SaverWiz

Turns out it only worked for me once. Preview option has disappeared. If all else fails, Lucky, just pull the plug to shut the computer down. At least on my XP machine that didn't seem to do any harm when I had to resort to that harsh method. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY. :shock:

Wish I could give some input on why it's not working for you guys. I've tried it on Win2k, WinXP SP3, and Win2k3, works fine on all of them. Even when running it multiple times in a row, still no probs.

Have you ever thought of submitting this for the DSBC booth at the Motorcycle show?
Saves me the effort of digging up picture for that slide show idea.
I'm sure Judy will pipe in sooner or later.

It only took me a month to read this thread and pipe in.

YES. . . . . I would very much like to have this on a DVD so we can play it at the MC Show in January.

That's my server, it's just a modified 404 error for geeks like me. Been too busy riding etc to get the site back up again, hope to get to it in the next week or so. I will post here when the link is accessible again.
