I had to hand edit win.ini to tell screen peace where to find its files. If you are interested, here is the relevant part of my win.ini: Screen Peace] Saver Now Pos=A Saver Enabled=y Saver Delay=300 Saver Path=d:\windows\utilitys\scrnpeac There is actually a lot more, one or more lines for each of the add-on spx files, but they are automatically generated, so I won't include them. I have screen peace running just fine on 286 standard mode and 386 enhanced mode, on vga 600x480 on the 286, and 800x600 on the 386. At one point I had it on a herc/386/enhanced. I did find that getting it to go was a bit fiddly (editing the win.ini file), but once that was taken care of, it worked just great. kartik ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Department of Computer Science akm@oregon.BITNET University of Oregon
