It it possible to create screensavers using blitz plus and make them pop up automaticly?

'Boiled Sweets' would probably be the best person to answer that. Short answer - Yes - I think so. (But I've never done it myself...)

What i do is i program the code for the screen saver. Then i make the final exe. Then i use command prompt to copy it from:
Copy MyScrSaver.EXE MyScrSaver.SCR

then copy it into your windows folder
ex: C:\windows

To test: go to properties and find it on the list of screen savers and you should be fine.

make sure u have a way to end the loop on your screen saver.

Hey thanks, that worked. I also found another way too. When you 1st create the exe, and it asks you to save, just add a .scr to the end of the name. That works too.
