Vista Tutorial - Vista screensavers in VPC

Are Photos and Windows Logo the only screensavers that come with Vista that
work on VPC? I get an error message about the video card being too old run
any others.

That sounds about right. The emulated video card will not support any of
the new 3-D screensavers.

Thank you. That's too bad. I only realized this because the Photo one was
not running when I booted the machine today and there was this tiny font on
a black background that I had to really squint, and put my nose close to the
screen to actually read, that said the screensaver was not running due to an
error. So, I decided to see if other screensavers built into Vista were
working and that's when I got that message about the video card. (I got the
problem with the Photo screensaver easily fixed. Somehow, the box where you
put in the path to your own photos was checked instead the box that uses the
Vista photos).

Not surprising. The video card emulated is a Trio S3 -- with only 4Mb
of RAM.

No, it's 8MB and you can double that to 16MB. (But that is still a weak
video card, I realize).
