    Works with Vista too if you set the program exe to run in XP2 compatability mode as administrator. The exe should be located at C:\Users\(USER NAME HERE)\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\G6KOJXNM.WKL\JQP9D6V9.1BM\bgbu..tion_a326f2059f9fc36e_0003.0000_5ff619cf2d42d749

    If not then you can easily find it by runnning the program in Vista, going to the task manager, and right clicking on the process for it. Then click open folder and you should see it.

    Nice.

    Add screensaver support (no matter how basic) and I'll give ya a 5.

    *grin* Yeah, asking for feature-creep already. :P

    Ahh, something for my parents. ;)

    Little sad that it requires the .net framework, but I suppose that's the way things are going, and I suppose that decreases the size quite drastically.

    I myself have a gutted Win2k install. I keep my desktop blank though, so I think my parents will get more pleasure and use out of this than I will.
