NOTES FOR WINDOWS XP USERS
Some visitors have said that this screensaver might not work with Windows XP. Apparently, it doesn't always show up in the list of screensavers, but check out the tips below. This screensaver is at least 4 years old now, and I don't know of an upgraded version.
If anyone has a nice BMW screensaver that could be posted here for others to use, please contact me at . Thanks!
wBW Visitor "B.Y." has what appears to be solution for Windows XP users: If the screensaver doesn't appear in the drop down list try the following:
1. From the Windows Desktop, right click and select "Properties"
2. Select the "Screensaver" tab
3. Select any other screensaver on the list (besides "none") and set the required wait time (i.e., the time to wait before the screensaver runs). Click OK.
4. Go to the /windows/system32/ folder. Right click on BMW.SCR and select Configure (if you want to set the Password and Frame Rate. Click OK again, right click on BMW.SCR and select Install.
5. The standard windows screen saver dialog will then be displayed with [None] set as the screen saver. Click Cancel
6. The BMW screen saver will now activate, even though XP is showing you have none selected!
wBW Visitor "B.H." has the latest tip: "Your tips ... didn't work for me with Windows XP, but I may have stumbled on a solution. I renamed the "BMW.scr" file to "ssBMW.scr" (in the c:windowssystem32 folder). I then did a right click and install. Presto! BMW appeared in the drop-down list of available screensavers. I tested it with a one-minute timer and it worked".
wBW Visitor "D.M." sent this tip for Windows XP users: "Hi, Rick, I have used the BMW floating ball bearing screen saver for a number of years on Windows 95 and 98, with success. I am now using XP home but find although the programme loaded ok it will not join the list of screen savers. I have however dragged and dropped the Icon from the folder to the desktop, and by double clicking on the Icon the screen saver works as normal. This I think is better than not having it. Regards. D.M."
wBW Visitor "P.D." sent this tip for using the screensaver in Windows XP: "Just FYI, when using Windows XP, after you unzip the screen saver you need to rename it to "BMW.SCR" (without the quotes) before you drop it in the system32 folder. It will then appear on the drop down menu under the screensavers tab."
