HI Folks,
Currently in work I am having to use windows 7 64bit ultimate edition
I have to do a lot of compatability testing for our companies software.

I used to use the MS freeware VSS screen saver under windows Xp , worked fine
But I cannot find anything similar that will run under windows 7 64 bit.
Can anyone help me out pointing a working video screen saver ( as in the type
were you can get it to play videos as a screen saver)

Thanks

No that is screen capture software

Screen saver , like when your PC is not used for a while it does
something on screen (blanks it , or moves a logo about a bit) I am looking for one that will play videos on screen

You know the ones like 3D text , Blank screen , Ribbons etc

XP: Right click desktop , properties -> screen saver
Vista / win7 : Right Click -> personalise -> screen saver

Thanks for trying tho

screen saver? Don't use one. It's not the 90s.
