| Guest | Old screen savers and security for Vista. Hello! Is it safe to use old screen savers that work well in Windows 9x, 2000, and XP under Vista? Did Vista's screen saver component changes a lot in terms of security and backward compatible? I have old screen savers like System 47 (http://www.mewho.com/system47/), 24 (http://w3rd.org/24/), etc. that I like but wasn't sure if they were good ideas for Vista.

| Guest | Re: Old screen savers and security for Vista. 3rd Party screensavers are "allowable" in Vista. Whether they will work or not is another question. Some screensavers that were programmed before the advent of Vista will work, and some won't. You pretty much have to test them and see if they work.
