[cman750rr]

After hours of playing finally figured it out, guess it makes way to much sense for windows leave well enough alone, right click and make a picture a desk top,

[SnapshotOfASoul]

I have a few screensavers (that work with my intergrated cough cough) and I set them as wallpaper and my desktop disappeared. O_o

[JAYJAY1787]

what do i type in for the martix if anyone knows cuz its not woking

[PsychoSainten]

@JAYJAY1787 u need to have the video or have it as a screen saver

[JAYJAY1787]

@PsychoSainten thanksz dude got it working

[cman750rr]

By now anyone that used Vista has tossed it in the trash, for that is where it should be, windows 7 is not much better, best stay with with XP.... just too much drama,

[SnapshotOfASoul]

@cman750rr XP in my books has had a lot more problems than my copy of Vista. It all depends on how you use it.

[MultiNine999]

[Omgitsgee]

How do you make the computer start up with the screen saver as the desktop background.

[metalbillyboy]

create a batch file and put it into the startup folder :]

[jgrosse5554]

How do u do that?

[metalbillyboy]

just open notepad, write the path and filename in it and save it as "all files", give it a name and add .bat at the end. then put it in the startup folder.

something like that:

C:\Users\"yourusername"\deskto­p\"nameoffile"

[AuzzieDogSoldiers]

this would be awesome if all my icons wernt covered

[LeitoooSR]

thnx for the trick :)

[peaceworld0]

this kinda worked...it made it the background, but it wasdnt quite the background..it was just annoying and covered up everyhting...makin it hard to end thre process..i dont know why though...:S

[EvDJ95]

[Soodhi]

[jarvideoproductions]

[Corneel19]

It works! only one problem, when you run it you cant see or use the icons. Is it possible to run it on the 2nd monitor?

[coliwood]

I don't know about a second monitor, but here is what worked for me. I hate have icons on my wallpaper any how, so I started using Stardock object dock and Rocket Dock to organize my icons.and I can see and use all of my icons with the screensaver/wallpaper working.

[robinmitra1]

WOW man thanks a bunch! I have a big monitor too...now it looks so cool!

[mosesjade]

how did u do that? 2 monitor but the one is not affected when u use background?

[Hellrosa]

[Jediscool]

[Zaharkl]

yes

[ProjectBlueBook88]

i donkey punched this guy

[Sk3letr0n]

can you still see the desktop icons when you do this? maybe chris said but if he did I missed it. And also does this work on windows XP? because I might get vista, I've been wanting it even though people keep saying bad things about it.

[cbielite]

Nope, sorry the icons disappear! Just the taskbar and windows remain. Too bad. :(

FYI, I'm running the Aurora screensaver and it's wicked. Just type-in "cmd" in the RUN command and enter this: "aurora.scr /p65552".

Thanks Chris!

[AndyBearman]

Ohhh, /p6552. Of course, how intuitive.

[ACDCEvan]

Does it also works on xp?

[Zach6348]

Maybe...

[uzair786uzzy]

how u get it off

[swiftkill1982]

done it but my icons dissapear untill i stop it

[webf]

Does it also works on xp?

[caspian200]

no it's vista ultimate only

[christheferal]

I'm on ultimate, it goes on top of everything :(

[RodneyMJ]

great but how can I deleate screen saver pics or background pics?

[mgerthoffer]

Never mind I figured it out!

[mgerthoffer]

How can you make a custom screen saver run as your wallpaper, instead of ribbons?

/Matthew

[trevorm1]

ps was that a binary clock going on ?

[trevorm1]

Hey that's cool. I'm looking for a screen saver that I think is vista's. It's a picture slide show but it also play's video's.

Can ya help me out?

Thanks..love the vid.

Trevor

[solidkundi]

usee VLC..wayy better....u can still see the icons!!

[illage2]

Will it work in XP?

[damianson]

46inch lcd tv, tv tuner, ps3(for the blueray dvd's too) etc, its better,play games& movies on those little things? sure good for u..but its not the best setup.

[technokid220]

Never mind, I found it.

By the way, when I tried that, My computer got weird, the windows kind of flickered and I could only see the stert menu when I scrolled over it with my mouse

[technokid220]

Where are the screen savers located on my computer?

[darkmastachief]

where do you download it?

[jpb11380]

hes a geek, theres a difference

[oOOjoeriOOo]

okay

[darkmastachief]

how do you get the task bar to come back?

[darkmastachief]

do you do this in command prompt?

[irockyou7]

ribbons.scr /p65552

However your desktop icons become insisible. No worry to get everything back you press the windows key (near ALT and CTRL) then you right click on the task bar and select "Task management" or something that sounds like that. Then in PROCESS tab you should see the screensaver. right click it then end the process.

[f2szilard]

6+5+5+5+2=23.

there is always something with 23.

[Slihp1]

dude your a duche..would can you do it without looking a your 40" screen? let me know when you do it in unix...noob

[liquidhalo]

what the hell are you rambling on about, why do people keep banging on about linux like were all missing out on something fantastic? did you know that during 2008 only 3.9% of operating systems used were linux? 3.9% damnit even Mac was higher than that, Theres a fantastic old saying id like to share you with, Just because its free it doesnt mean its better, perhaps you should use your amazing WGET command to WGET your ass a copy of a proper OS

[russkeller]

The reason is simple. Just because Microsoft has superior marketing and sales dosn't mean they make a product that's actually worth buying. At least the Linux Distro's work when they get released rather than force the public to pay for the privilege of being a Beta Test guinea pig.

[liquidhalo]

If linux was better more would use it, same goes for mac, the simple fact is that its not all that good, its not user friendly enough for the larger companys to use it as windows OEM replacement, you cant get good software to run on it unless your willing to tweak about installing new modules which brings us full circle to not being user friendly

[horseunknown]

Wrong

Large companies already start to switch to open source operating systems (have seen it myself).

Reasons: Big companies usually have their own IT who set up the workstations. Mere users aren't allowed to tweak or install anything on their Computers, all they can do is just what they are supposed to do: their WORK!

If something doesn't compute: There's your telephone, call up administration, they'll fix it remotely. Thats it. Continue your on your job!

[liquidhalo]

no my statistics are right, you can check them out just because you say otherwise does not make the institution wrong, secondly why did you have to write "WORK" like that? are you an idiot?

[horseunknown]

You might want to reveal your sources of your infinite wisdom?

Is it by any chance some Microsoft-Newsletter?

No, of course it is good old fashioned print-media

(The kind that needs to place ads, which are usually placed by...software-companies who want to sell softwarte...which usually would run on the good old whatsitsname-OS from redmont)

i don't care.

I can see and use and touch the machines i'm talking about and they are running open-source-OS. It's as simple as that.

[liquidhalo]

i did reveal my source had you have taken the time to read what i wrote in all my posts you would have seen that, so yeah, if you cant keep up in a diuscusion as simple as this then my strange little friend, i have no time for you anymore.

[horseunknown]

So here i have found one stupid dork.

OK, just for you: Windows Vista is best! Yaaay!

[liquidhalo]

Yet again you have failed to understand what my posts were about, is it that hard to understand a simple discussion? I didn't say WINDOWS VISTA IS BEST!!!!! YAAAY!!! no not at all, I'm just saying that hardly any people use Linux in comparison to both mac and PC, yet again google "OS usage statistics" and look for yourself. Oh and when you have done that, perhaps you should post an apology for being too stupid to keep up

[gookageek]

liquid, you really made me laugh hard.

Google for:

de-foreign-ministry-cost-of-op­en-source-desktop-maintenance-­is-by-far-the-lowest

of course the german foreign ministry is tiny and insignificant, has only 11.000 desktops and a bunch of servers.

its not the number of cd-issues of an OS that counts, its all about productivity and costs.

[liquidhalo]

No matter what you tell me to google or read, what costs you bring to my attention or how many desktops the German foreign ministry uses you cannot ignore the simple fact shown by the statistics, which is what I'm arguing, Linux only accounts for 3.8% of OS usage recorded compared to 86%+ of windows xp+vista if it was so fantastic and yummy and scrumptious these figures would be different

[gookageek]

lol, that horse was right, you are a stupid dork.

so what if there are 86% of computers sporting your precious Microsucks Windows - its the other 24% that do the productive work in companies. Unix is not open source, but THANK GOD, its not Microsucks. ;-)

lol, rofl, etc.

[liquidhalo]

no its 3.8% for Linux not "24%" however 100-86 is 14, I'm no longer having this discussion with you, its apparent that you are not thinking about what you are saying by your simple maths error, instead your just trying to prove a point you haven't yourself thought through, like i said a while ago now, which you have ignored, the sheer number of people using windows is why there are so many viruses out there for it, which your simple arithmetic shows. However I'm through replying to this topic

[Zach6348]

Linux is stronger than you think. Maybe those thumbs would be a little higher if you would tone down your language. Its not that people can't understand you, its just you sound like a jackass.

[akon1fan]

hey lockergnome!! i need help from u really badly since no one with responed to me. it sounds stupid but how do u make a video of what ur doing on ur computer without using a camera. i see it all the time on youtube but i want to no how to do it!!!! please respond to me ASAP if u can cause i REALLY want to learn how to do it!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!

[sloth3636]

i forgot how but i think theres a free software download, google it.

[christian42986]

the software is called "bullents screen recorder " google it

[gcahill13]

Or you can download Hyper-Cam. Google It Also.

[akon1fan]

[hihaatje]

[yahuu33]

what do i have to type in to play a video?

[mashalol]

nice computer... i guess

[cyberbobb]

nice .., but Screen2Dream (freeware) automates the steps to run a screensaver as wallpaper (works on XP and Vista). No command line hacking needed ;)

[thefsxflyer]

Go Dell!!!!!

[rocknguitar007]

WOAH CRAP THATS AWESOME U HAVE 2 MONITORS.. FOR 1 COMP!! THATS AWESOME.. even though i dont have it how do u make it for 1 comp like that?

[djayjarvis]

on your graphics card you should have two outputs plug one vdu into each one..

then goto grphics settings and select 2 monitors..then you should see all sorts of setting for it... easy to use

[roflhax]

i got 2 screen's...on vista...works great...although i needed a mac screen adapter to connect the second screen...so that might be that you need on to...easy to get...well i got from my father though...but i reccomend 2 screen's ;)

[rocknguitar007]

lol TIMES 2!!! .. uhhum! ty dell.. LOL

[rocknguitar007]

lol TIMES 2!!! .. uhhum! ty dell.. LOL

[squirrlelad]

fucker

[BuggyRacer3000]

ummm yeeaahhh, this is pretty cool.

BUT!

All your icons is invisible, you cant even press on them,

"Ribbons" is "minimized" and when you press on it you have to press ctrl+alt+delete and remove Ribbons.

Its gone when you restart.

[proent]

i am running gay vista now but it just runs the screen saver and makes all my stuff blink... and takes forever to close it cause i can't see what i'm doing when it blinks I guess i need a better video card? Dirrect 3D?

[cianb2]
