| | Any good screen savers for Vista? I was wondering if there are any cool screen savers for Vista yet. I had a laptop running XP Media Edition and it came with a really cool aquarium screen saver (the fish looked almost real) that I liked. So far I have only been able to find an American flag screen saver and it only works intermittently. Anyway, just hoping there weremsome other screen savers available. Thanks, Ken |

| | Re: Any good screen savers for Vista? Thanks Shane, that is pretty nice. I might splurge on that one, it will keep my 2 year old entertained!

| | RE: Any good screen savers for Vista? Thanks Ron. Great idea, but I no longer have the CD. The aquarium screensaver was on a laptop that I returned to Dell (along with the CD). I thought that it may be available for download from Microsoft, but I can't find it anywhere and I don't remember who made it.

| | RE: Any good screen savers for Vista? I checked the MS website, the Aquarium screen saver is available as a part of the XP plus package. Here's the plus link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Plus/windowsxp/ss.asp I got mine via XP MCE, try this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...reensaver.mspx "Keninsb" wrote: > Thanks Ron.

| | RE: Any good screen savers for Vista? Cool, thanks Ron! I am a little bummed. I just purchased the 3D Goldfish screensaver from http://www.prolific.com/ (they also sell the 3D Marine Aquarium that Shane mentioned). Too bad because the Microsoft Plus package has a lot of other stuff I might use, and it is the same price! Maybe I will spend the big bucks and get the plus package anyway ![]() Thanks again, Ken "Ron K." wrote: > I checked the MS website, the Aquarium screen saver is available as a part of > the XP plus package.
