not coming up. I have the saver set to activate after 3

minutes. Why?
|
|
A:
|
Check to make sure that the path to the .avi files is
pointing to c:\discover\scrnsavr\*.avi. The path should
not point to d:\clips\ ...\*.avi (where " d: " is the
CD-ROM drive).

Q:
|
Do I need to have the ScreenSaver CD in my CD-ROM drive
all the time to use the ScreenSaver?
|
|
A:
|
No, once you copied the .avi files to your hard drive,
you no longer need to have the ScreenSaver CD in the
CD-ROM drive. But you may run the .avi files directly
from the CD-ROM to view them.
