    It may be, Spunk, it just may be -- but that would make this whole thing only sadder.

    I just checked the Microsoft Knowledge Base and yes, it does work on Macs, too. Download it & try it - if not, you must be doing something wrong.

    Hey, I don't mind helping people like Spunky.

    Spunk, if that screensaver locks up your 486, it's probably because your computer was built well before the screensaver file was written, so it doesn't understand the new MS screensaver format.

    All you need to do is "reprogram" your computer so it can handle the new image formats - this will be helpful with many other new file types, so you may as well do it sooner rather than later. MS even includes a DOS utility for doing this reprogramming.

    The 4 easy steps:

    1) Open a MS-DOS prompt window.
    2) Type in (without the quotes) "FORMAT C:" ("C" means so you can see these images in the future)
    3) When it asks you if you really want to do this, type "Y" Ignore the other gobbledygook - it's just typical MS licensing info
    4) Press Enter/Return

    The reprogramming will take awhile - go practice some guitar licks for a half-hour or so. When you come back, your computer will be reprogrammed and ready for use.
