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

It's not free but I recommend the Aquarium screensaver from SereneScreen.

Thanks Shane, that is pretty nice. I might splurge on that one, it will keep
my 2 year old entertained!

Try Popping in your Xp CD see if you can find the Aquarium screen saver and
install it. It worksfine with Vista.

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.
Thanks again,
Ken

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

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
