    Click on free, wait, enter 4 digit code

    Afterdownload, you can copy to C: windows / System 32 and you can load the screen savers from the display properties by right click on ur desktop.

    It has 6 different kinds of color and ocean during time of the day so it should entertain and relax u a little bit. It also comes with smooth music on background.

    The water effect looks so good, even with Intel card. This screensaver might heat up my GFX card a bit.

    enjoy guys

    Oh forget to mention that this one has to trojans or spyware so feel free to use. I already tested on my system, nothing suspicious.

    Again, this rapidshare.com is safe also.. not like megaupload and depositfiles or other service.

    I'm going to download this in about an hour and put it through the ringer myself...though I have little reason to suspect it'll be an issue. I'll post results here.

    This looks like a nice little program!

    Nice found! :) Not sure about any virus but works perfectly for my Go 6600... FSP capped at 30 and some nice background music... The only thing mssing is that there shoud be some anti-aliasing on the edge of the sea... Other than that, good screensaver! ;)

    Cannot find anything wrong with it...looks clean and I'm running it now.

    Really funny: I have to increase my clock speed on my X1600 from Optimal Battery Life to Optimal Performance in order to set the quality on the SS to the max and still have it run smoothly...definitely using the 3D capabilities of the card.

    it still looks great in low detail with an Intel card, if increase the detail, it might slow down a little bit but the gfx quality is the same. So it's best to set in the middle.

    Wow...what a way to drain a battery!

    Don't forget to toggle these babies off when traveling around.

    Just did some googling. Here's the official link for this screensaver. Other versions may be hacked or have spyware, I don't know.

    i downloaded it and put it in my C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder but i don't see the screen saver option in the pulldown menu when i go to screensaver in the desktop properties

    nvm it's because i used a download accelerator and it didn't pick up the right file
