    ScreenSaver Error

    I'm trying to install a screensaver I made myself, but when I try to test run it, an error message pops up:
    "Error
    <file directory here> is not a valid Win32 Application."

    And yes, it's where the other screensavers are, and yes, it has the .scr extension. Any idea what's wrong and what I can fix?

    If your running it by double clicking on it then its because it isn't a .exe.

    Re: ScreenSaver Error

    To build a screen saver, select "Screen Saver" as "Build Type" in the properties of the application, and then click the File / Build command (or right click the application in the Workspace bar and select the Build command).

    Is this what you did?

    Yves. [/]Ah, no. I didn't do that.
    It works now, thankee for thy help. Much appreciated.'

    EDIT: New problem.
    Now I can't get it to show up in the ScreenSaver menu. The thing where you select the screensaver you want to use.

    You can right click on it and select "Install", but it will disappear from the list as soon as you select another screen saver, unless you copy it to the Windows System32 folder.

    It's good. Everything works.
    Final question: How do I get it to cover the enitre screen? Ever time I change the screen size on the file it just keeps 640xWhatever visible, and the screensaver parts will float on and off the screen.

    Select the "Resize to screen size at startup" option in the frames of your application.

    Thank you so very much for you help.
    I'd give you a cookie, but unfortunately I do not have one.

    Unfortunately that wasn't the last thing.

    I can't get the screensaver to run on any other computer without Fusion.
