Freeware screen saver when reinstalled fails to identify the necessary DirectX installed.
- Posted to the wrong forum on 7/9/10...ran dxdiag and says that it is allowed by the messages of the forum7/9: "I received a request for the screen saver"facility that DirectX has been installed and I have to load '3' (?) Service Pack. Since a Service Pack 3 does not yet exist on Vista (32 bit), I downloaded DirectX from Microsoft. When he's not running, I used the control panel to remove the screen saver. RELOADED Screensaver... said DirectX not installed. Tried to get again the download DirectX from Microsoft, but it detects that I have already. It's a really cool screensaver by comments from the editor of CNET, and I am giving my wife today for our anniversary... What should I do? »
I watched with lust. Discover the supported operating systems. Vista is not listed. That's why it won't work - it is not compatible. And the version of DirectX is probably not compatible either. You must find a screensaver that is compatible with Vista.
Sorry, but it's right there on their own page.
Good luck!

How to disable the screen saver when you watch videos in full screen in firefox?
This only happens with Firefox, other browsers videos play normally and without interruption. I want to keep my window screen saver by default but not when watching full-screen mode.
The Flash Player plugin must normally block the system to go to sleep, reduce the brightness of the display or go to the screen saver when you are using full-screen. It is strange that you have this problem with Flash.
There are workaround solutions such as the use of an add-on or an external program that simulates the movement of your mouse, but those who really shouldn't be necessary.
VLC, I don't know.
Furthermore, you closed and restarted Windows because this problem first occurred? Just in case where some component shared Windows crashed.

How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours
Hello, welcome.
The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/migrating-Vista-using-Windows-easy-transfer.htmlFor both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:1. click on START > run2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom rightDO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN5. click on START > run6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.7. type chkdsk /r and press enter8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume9. allow the system to plan restarting10. restart your computer11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine13. Once completed, repeat the transfer

A screensaver for a game has been downloaded, I think that, during another download of game from Big Fish games. I went into the properties, screensaver Panel and found this one: Princess Isabella screensaver. I was unable to get into the setting of it, because that kept screen saver preview. I tried a search but canceled because I didn't really know where to look. Under xp, sp3.
Screen savers are located by default in:
%SystemRoot%\System32Search for files with the extension *.scr.
