hi everybody,

i compiled this soure and copyied the google.scr file into windir/system32. the screensaver doesen't start automaticly. it only starts when i testing it.
anyone knows what a *.scr file needed?

best regards, huckle

[begin]
OutFile google.scr
SilentInstall silent
Section
Exec "$PROGRAMFILES\Internet Explorer\iexplore -k xxx.google.com"
SectionEnd
[end]

xxx = www

you should probably change the quotes:
Exec '"$PROGRAMFILES\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -k xxx.google.com'

you also need to set it as the default screensaver (more info about screensavers at http://www.wischik.com/scr/howtoscr.html )

thanks, but it doesn't work :-(

i changes each SCRNSAVE.EXE in the registry to C:\WINDOWS\google.scr
the coursor changes to a hourglass and nothing else happens.

best regards, huck
