This info is in the docs, but you can selectively enable/disable whichever saver modules you want. To do this, click onec on the SP icon and select "options". You should get a list of the saver modules it knows about. Double clicking on one will bring up a configuration box. One item is a check box to enable/disable. After setting this, click OK. BTW, you can see what each module looks like by selecting the desired module (click once, not twice to make sure it is highlighted) in the options. If you have set the "saver now" variable in win.ini, move the cursor (again see the docs) to the "saver now" place specified, the screen will blank and show the selected module. (You could of course wait for the timeout, but that is a pain.)
