Ok i have seen another post about this but it seems to have magically disapeered. But in it it said something about being able to convert .exe files into screen saver files. Whoever posted this first please help.

Yes, renaming will work, but if you want a real screensaver (with a neat configuration screen), it's not so easy...

For a start, you could take a look at this entry in the codebase:
http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=codebase_view&i=f77a47ddb2281f7c30b2145cfc95730b
It's quite old (sept. 2003), but it can help.

Ideas: memories of things which did not occur yet...

Damn, my full screensaver source code was here somewhere, with the window hook and everything - I'm *REALLY* annoyed that google suddenly can't find it..

How's my typing? Phone 0800-GO-TO-HELL
