    I haven't used a screen saver since Windows XP days, but I love The Matrix so will check it out just for fun.

    The Matrix made me an instant fan of Rob Zombie music with Dragula. I normally never watch ending credits, but I had to know what that song was and who did it.

    everytime I try a screensaver bro, I get bored with it in no time and uninstall it. This is the only screensaver that I've been running for years that never gets boring! I mean think of it, what could be more interesting than seeing random text displayed on your screen in a Matrix? :rolleyes: :D

    Didn't even know this exists. Thanks!

    Reminds me of the oldie high school days and refurbished Motorola cellphones we were buying just to fit to the style... Heck, this calls for another original Matrix + Animatrix session.

    Thanks for the info! Been looking for one that works on modern systems.

    Ahhhh, the memories... There was a really old screensaver I loved called swarm which, not surprisingly, replicated swarm methods of insects chasing/following each other. I think it was wasps chasing a bee or something.

    Much as I love this screensaver, it causes my machine to lock up and/or BSOD whenever it transitions to putting my external monitor to sleep, unless I have the GPU set to maximum performance in the NVIDIA control panel. I think this is a combination of the W10 creator's update and NVIDIA's drivers.

    it's not even appearing for me on the Creator's update anymore. I contacted the developer but he didn't reply. I think he took the red pill :eek:

    It didn't show up for me either when I installed it by right-clicking on the .scr file. However, it worked fine when installing from the .bat file (right click, run as admin).
