Strange - when I tried I found a few - maybe a spelling thing? You also have to remember that the search only searches the current board - you have to search the others too.

Anyway, your DB prog should consist of a single Loop which exits if you move the mouse or press a key. On exiting the loop the program ends and inside the loop you can create whatever graphics you want.

You then compile your screensaver into an exe with 'Build Final' and as long as it runs OK when executed when on it's own in another directory, rename the exe to scr (ie: myscrnsvr.exe >> myscrnsvr.scr).

Finally copy the scr file into the Windows directory and make it the current screensaver from the Display Settings in Control Panel.

That's it!
