Do you still use a screensaver? I don't use it anymore.
I used to have pretty cool The Ring screensaver with Samara coming towards the screen, than the ring video screeensaver with cursed videotape footage. Also classic Matrix code...
Have you ever create your own? I did a couple with some screensaver programs where you can choose pictures you want to display, sounds and music, etc

I don't use screensavers at home but we still use them at work and I have the Doctor Who time vortex on my work PC at the moment. I used to have the Matrix code as well, who hasn't
I must check out the Ring screensaver, sounds kind of cool and just so right for a screensaver. There was a program that I used to have that let you use any video file as a screensaver, it was great using music videos or whatever. I can't remember what it was called though.

Just search for screensaver maker. There are tons of them, I don't remember which one exactly I used. As for the ring one with Samara, I lost it and can't find it anymore. Here are the ones with the curse tape, original Japanese and American remake: http://www.kittysafe.net/reviews/ring/media/

I still use the old star screen saver but I would like to have one of the really cool ones. I just don't seem to have the time to look for all that fun stuff. Every time I get on the computer it seems that I have to work instead of having fun.
Maybe I should take time to so some of the funner things like change my screensaver. I have been using the same one on all my computers for years.
As far as using one. I think that if you don't use a screensaver then you can do damage to your monitor.

It could damage old CRT monitors. Newer CRTs and LCD doesn't have that problem.

I used to but now I don't as well. I think I have never made one because I think I used to use MS Paint for my wallpaper. I don't know or simply I can't remember if I have ever made one. If I did I think it would be using MS paint again![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

I'm not a programmer so I made it in some free screensaver maker program. There are tons of these programs on the internet.

when i was using windows XP i used to set up an Aquarium Screensaver on my PC.
but when i changed to windows 7 i dont use screensaver anymore, instead i set power options to shut down monitor after 2 minutes of inactivity.
it Saves power though.

I used to have a screen saver too until my computer broke down. The screen saver was just the word Windows in colors bouncing around the corners of the screen.
The Ring screensaver sounds really scary. Samara used to be on my desktop background but then it freaked my mother out too much so I had to change it back to the hills with the clouds. Happy mylotting!

never, coz. it disturbs me.. hehe well, having a screensaver could add more relaxation but then for me SSaver is not necessary. just use screensavers while downloading something, screensavers can consume more electricity,, hehehe

i use screen savers. I also download screen savers from internet to have a new look in my computer. Or at times I use pictures. But I also like the screen savers installed in microsoft programs... However with mac I don't use screensavers.

I didn't used to use screensavers until I found dream aquarium one's.
It was really cool but since I have windows 7, when I'm going away, I'm just turning it into hibrenate, so it saves energy, but can't use screensaver = so now I don't use any.
