I installed this thing today, and it's pretty neat.  Just one thing:

When I double-clicked the .SCR file to install it as a screensaver, it did indeed add it to the list.  I made sure it was selected, and hit OK.  When I came back later, after the screensaver should have come on, it was not there.  Does this mean there's a problem, or does it run in background mode while saving my screen?  I'm running Windows XP, if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

I've had some trouble under Windows98 with it starting multiple times when I come back.  I have XP at work so will test it out again there, though I'm pretty sure it worked first time for my setup.

Have you tried setting it to 1 minute and waiting to see if it does come up?

Another note: if you have an optical mouse on certain types of surface, it can "jitter" even when you're not touching it, which can stop screensavers from appearing entirely.
