THE MUL

 

Have you tried it yet?

 

I tried it for almost half a day. The screensaver was brilliant, but it wouldn't switch off after the normal time.... or in fact any time!!! It just went on and on (and on and on)
So regretfully uninstalled it.

 

The Mul, Did you have any Problems?

I didn't install this, I'm afraid it may take up too much system resources.

 

What are you running, a calculator j/k

Jimbob

 

Just tried it. It works a treat, thanks. Will keep my little nephew entranced. (If you have ProcessGuard you need to allow Global Hooks).

Brilliant, thanks again.

 

Why would this christmas desktop theme require Global Hooks? I won't allow global hooks for this kind of thing.

 

I was wondering the same question.

nadirah & Jimbob1989.

Just telling you how ProcessGuard reacted. I had it in learning mode when I first ran the screensaver.

 

Strange

There was a small thread about this here a couple of days or so ago
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12132242~mode=flat

The response to this seems to have been quite small, so I wonder if only a couple of us had this problem of the scrrensaver not switching off... it appeared to overide the power down settings.

@bch. Is yours still behaving properly?

 

That explains it, I think.

Jimbob

 

Hello Oremina,

Yes, it's still okay. I've rebooted just to see that there were no problems on restarting. I don't have the monitor set to turn off, however, in power schemes, which is the problem that you are having I think.

 

bch.. OK - thanks anyway for the reply.

 

I don't put mine in learning mode at all. If a screensaver needs global hooks, I would definitely say NO to it.

 

I though Learning Mode still asked you what you want to happen and just remembered it for later.

Jimbob

 

nadirah.
Just to clear this up. Whenever I run a new programme, I always put ProcessGuard in learning mode. The alert I received from ProcessGuard stated that Santa was blocked from creating a global Low Level Mouse hook. (Presumably this is because the mouse pointer changes to a waving Santa). As PG was in learning mode, it allowed it even though it gave the "blocked" message in the balloon.

The waving santa does get on your nerves a wee bit after a while so I've gone back to normality for the moment.

 

Sorry folks that I did not reply to this thread, as I did not notice all the replys that I got.
I have not tried this theme out yet, but I might try It out in a few days time and I will let u know how I get on and if there are any issues with it as well.

Your friend
