I looked into this not long ago :) If you have Visual Basic, then the following will be useful: Building screensavers in VB - http://216.26.168.92/articles/screensaver/index.html Flash & VB - http://www.creativeprogrammers.com/article/rd.php/flash-vb-16-2.html I'm sure there would be similar articles around for C++ if that is more your style. In the end we just bought ScreenTime (http://www.screentime.com/), as we needed screensavers for Mac too, so far I've been quite satisfied with it. -- Lindsay Evans.
