I got bored…
June 3rd, 2008
I got bored of looking at my monitor doing all the same old boring stuff, so I decided to break out Visual Studio and recreate one of my favorite screensavers from the old days. It’s been a while since I’ve done any coding, and I’ve never really done much C#, but I figured I’d give it a shot just for giggles. Here’s the result. Just take it out of the ZIP file, tuck it in some quite corner of your drive (My Documents or something), right click and hit ‘Install.’ From there on, it *should* behave like any other screensaver – although I make no guarantees and I haven’t really done any kind of rigorous testing. As it’s a C# (managed) application, you’ll need to have the .NET framework installed on your system for it to work. If you’ve got WinXP service pack 2 or better, you’re safe. Otherwise, you can download it from the Microsoft Update site.

Well feh… I *told you* that I didn’t do any testing. A Null reference is pretty lame, though. Did you do anything particularly interesting to get it to do that?
You could always try renaming it to an .EXE and running it (it behaves slightly differently in that case).

Same same with the .EXE
Blame it on SP3 I’d say..
(sigh!) I had such high hopes to brighten a dreary afternoon…

Well — *I* have SP3… And I’ve also run it on another machine of mine that’s only SP2. I’m sure there are all sorts of things I do incorrectly in there, so it’s only mildly surprising that it’s not working for you. I can only offer the dev’s fallback of “it works on *my* machine.”
