I thought it will be good to discuss what your screen saver is, that’s if you use one...
I will start. My screen saver is a slide show that displays my big collection of wallpaper (all 50 mb of it) that I have.
Your turn…

None.... Boo screensavers

people use screen savers still? i thought that was back in windows 3.11

i use Flurry which is a port from OS X and SkyRocket
both are good screen savers

Hate screensavers. But i used to have one of those matrix code scrollers a while back

I use an ATI screensaver called ATI Dogs, its pretty cool!!

You can find it and other cool ati screensavers here
I use it as sort of a security thing, I have the password on screensaver enabled so when I leave my pc, I don't have to log out and I don't have to worry about people getting into my files.

I don't ever worry about burn-ins or anything!

screen savers are a scam
you dont need them
i had "none" as long as i remember

ofcourse you don't "need" them, but you also don't "need" wallpapers, but I bet you have one.

Mine is a real cool one, the monitor turns off after 15 mins.

I used to do that, but id rather turn off the screen manually

The default "Windows 2003 Server Edition" screensaver.

Sometimes I have a screensaver with a slideshow of my car collection.

...

Well... car collection wallpapers....

i have the best screensaver ever! none!

Mine is just text. It usually says "Be back at _____" so friends that drop by know where I am, or what time I will be back. I had a tara reid one for a while, that was nice. I've had the MKT character select screen still gif image, that was alright too.

GTX w00t ...same 2k3 default here...neat is 1337

yeah i do have a wallpaper but thats because i enjoy looking at it becuase I AM THERE
whos there when IM not around to look at the screen saver?
(did that make sense?)
btw my wallpaper is so friggin cool

whats your wp?

[EDIT] where can i d/l the win 2003 server screen saver?im lookig arouind for it and i cant find it

I would get it to you if I could find it on my computer, but I can't figure out where it's at... lol

Just use the XP one, there's hardly any difference.

i have this dumb dont touch my computer part 2 screen saver.
guess what,i cannot even change it coz its locked!!!!!!!

I dont use any screen saver, not even blank.

What? That technically isnt possible, you have to set it to blank or none

Yes ... so I set it at none. Screen stays as it is for ever. Screen savers have some incompatibilities with some of my benchmark sw, so I dont use em.

Yeah thats actually kinda what we meant by blank

Screensavers serve 2 purposes: To entertain people when you have a computer in a room where people come by alot (such as a living room), and to keep the screen from "burning" an image when people are to lazy to shut off the monitor.

I dont think that images can be burned onto monitors anymore. It used a problem back in the days of he old CRT monitors, nut the new ones dont suffer from that problem

Default Windows XP Pro. Format, Reinstall this weekend, need I say more. Wonder where my Tara Reid collage is....

I know even some CRT monitors today will have that problem. Ever walk into an office with computers that run 24/7 without screensavers? Some of the monitors in there aren't that old. I just think now it takes longer for the image to "burn" into the screen than it used to.

I know that if I leave my monitor on (which is a little old... but not much) and I forget to turn it off (I have the screen saver off) and I come back from somewhere I'm gone for awhile (work or school), I'll come back and have a dim after image of whatever was on my screen for a short time.

i had the matrix as a screensaver.......now i dont have one......pretty much active all the time on my comp.........if not..the monitor is turned off.

Default, did a format re-install of XP pro becuase of SP2...stupid thing.

Well, now i have the matrix codescroller as a screensaver on Linux

i currently have no screen saver, but was thinking about getting that matrix one. hey redhatter, why not just one post instead of three in a row? it looks like a page all of you (i assume that is you in your sig)

Edit: You do know that when you post in the chit-chat section it doesn't count towards your posts (which sucks).

I usually habe my pictures slideshow as screensaver but, at this moment, I have no screensaver!

no screensaver ever

no background?

Yeah I set my moniter and stuff to turn off after like 10 minutes (had it at five but that got anoying with some of my programs the monitor would turn off during use....) anyway I do have this one screen saver I like to have on at night it has lightning and rain sounds lol I turn the monitor off and sleep with the sound jamming

Your screen saver would run your HD if you dont have enough memory or if you had some programs running and a screen saver too (although unless you have TONS of ram your HD will always be accessed just by windows) Hmm you make a good point having a background eats up system performance too lol
