It isn't free, but you can download a trial. Every other program I found you had to pay for also.

If you didn't know a screen saver is just a program that runs to draw stuff on the screen. This is why it is so dangerous to go about downloading and running screen savers for unknown websites. Many people don't know screen savers are programs (executable code) which could contain code todo anything, even download and install other programs, and lots of other "trojan," "spyware," or virus like behaviors..

Example: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686421.aspx
this is the "Windows logo" screen saver which is normally the default after installing windows.

If you know JScript (Microsoft and is a superset of ECMAScript, Javascript is ECMAScript's other standard) and/or C++ then you should be able to pickup on C# quickly.

It's really easy to use, I just navigated to the avi i wanted and away it went :D

It's shareware but all that means is when you resume windows you get a "please buy" message, so you hit enter and it goes away. I'm very happy with it.

This is a useless post cause I edit another one, and another member edit his post too, and cause I'm a movie editor, I edit this one....

Do you understand? Or I have to edit it again?
