    It doesn't work for me either :-/

    It doesn't show up in the screensaver list, and double clicking the file doesn't work. Yes, the .scr and .dll are in the right directory.
    I'm running Windows 2k Pro on a 2 x 1Ghz P3 processer machine, with 1Gbs RAM. W2k is the only operating system installed.

    Ce sera sera...

    Double clicking the file won't work because in order to run in screensaver mode, you have to supply the "/s" flag (which is what Windows does).

    If you're familiar with the DOS prompt, try running the program from the command line like so:

    Genesaver.scr /s


    Still, the screensaver should show up in the list no matter what, just by virtue of the file existing there and being named "something.scr". Triple check that everything's there like it's supposed to be. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Go to the command line and run a "dir *.scr" and "dir glut32.dll" in your system directory. Bunch of *.scr files, and the glut32.dll file, all looking okay? Nothing weird like the files renamed with ".txt" extensions because your browser thought they were text files? Grasping at straws here...
