What is a screensaver?

Originally designed to stop image burn on computer screens, but most modern computers can now turn the monitor off after a period of non-use and that's to be encouraged if the computer is going to be left for any long period. Now screensavers tend to be used to hide the screen while you're away from your desk, or to display some interesting image or message while the computer is not being used.

Requirements for the screensavers on this page:

These should work with any PC (sorry Mac users, maybe latter we'll get some for you). It does not use DirectX and so requires no special screen drivers. The faster your PC the smoother the results, but it's been designed to work well with older computers as well as faster, newer ones.

Save the screensaver below by right clicking on the link. This will allow you to save the file wherever you wish.
