just wondering if there will ever be an update to the screen saver.....the 1 that runs now acts like a slide show...very annoying.

or is there any way of making it run a lot more smoothly.

Use a faster/better graphics card?

Increase the resource share that the graphics are allocated?

Or better and faster overall, don't run the 'screensaver'! Let the screen go blank and power off. You can then use the CPU cycles saved to process more work.

Keep searchin',

Maybe alan is seeing something similar to Eric's dueling screensavers. No kidding... dueling... as in banjos.
