    Does anybody know if there is a website or anything that you can get Vista screen savers? I saw them on my mates laptop and they look pretty cool. If so will they work with xp?
    I googled it but nothing like what he had came up. Any help would be great thanks!

    There won't be a website for them because they are MS intellectual property and MS is bundling them with Vista so they won't be making them downloadable from their website. Your best bet would be to rip them from your mates laptop and see if they work, though I'm going to assume they won't.

    They might, but they need a good graphics card to run.

    I think most the screensaver except the Energy one will work in XP. I know the bubbles does work
