i want bubbles but it doesn't say install or how to. The website i got dosn't have the right one that i want. Please give instructions
Hi Nikesh,
You need to download the Vista Screensaver pack. Use the download link in the post above. Unzip it using WinRAR. It will extract four folders. One of them will be Bubble. Open that folder. Then right click on the "bubble" file inside the Bubble folder and click on Install. That will install the screensaver and then screensaver property windows will appear. Just click on OK. It should work. Do contact me for further help.
the bubbles screensaver is not coming on the desktop background in XP. Any comments. I changed the registery settings to both 0 & 1 and checked. Its not working
Can you give step by step instuctions on how to edit registry so the desktop background will show through on the Vista Bubbles screensaver on XP.
Hello all,
The screen savers work great. The screen savers do not have a self installer though. What you have to do is after you download the file, I saved it to my desktop for easy access, it has to be unzipped with WinRAR. After unzipping, open the folder of the screen saver you would like to use. You have to move the screen saver app into your system32 folder (My Computer / Drive C / Windows / system32). I find it easier to have both folders open on the desktop so you can just drag and drop from one to the other folder. After you put the screen saver app into your system 32 folder the screen saver will be available in your screen saver settings in your desktop properties (Right click on desktop then choose properties.). You can delete the download and the unzipped folder from your desktop after you get the files out that you want. I hope this helped.
Have fun,
DragonRider

hey, got the pack but have a problem..
where do i put the screensaver files to?
i was told to put it in c;/windows but where?
hi i want to downloaad the bubbles but dont noe how too can some1 help?
I downloaded the package, then winrar so that I could extract the files. I then extracted the bubble file as stated above into c:\windows\system32, which is where i see other screensavers that i have successfully downloaded and used. However, the bubbles screensaver is not showing up in my screensavers drop down list when i try to apply it to my settings. I know that it does work, though, because I am currently running it as an icon whenever i'm leaving my computer. What can i do???
I downloaded and installed the bubbles screensaver and it seems to work fine.
My question is, is there a way to set the registry entries so that the screensaver will use the current desktop (including open apps) as the background instead of just using my background picture as the backdrop for the bubbles?
I download the bubble screen saver. It works fine but I have one problem. When the screen saver open the bubbles doesn't come on desktop. It has black background behind the bubbles. Please help me what should I do to fix it. I dont get the registry thing.
HEY worked perfectly, just follow the instructions in the post..
thanks heaps
Here's how to make it appear in the desktop properties:
!!! THE SCREENSAVERS WILL ONLY APPEAR IN THE DEKSTOP PROPERTIES AFTER DOUBLE-CLICKING EACH OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY OR CLICK ON "TEST" ONCE THEY ARE IN THE /System 32/ FOLDER !!!
1. Extract the screensavers into the desktop. DO NOT "TEST" or "INSTALL IT" YET.
2. Place them in C:/Windows/System32/ folder.
3. Individually double click each screen saver file or right-click then "test".
4. Check your desktop properties
I can't get the file to download. I click on download and it just refreshes the page.
Hi!
I installed them but when I click the Settings button to any of them, I get a "This screensaver has no options you can set" error message.
a note came with each app:
BUBBLES -
Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Screensavers\Bubbles
- SpanMultiMon [DWORD] 0/1
Enables/disables multiple monitor spanning support.
Enable this to have one set of bubbles travel across
screens. Disable this to have bubbles on each (and possibly
different configurations)
- SphereDensity [DWORD] int
Self explainatory
- Radius [DWORD] int
Self explainatory
- TurbulenceNumOctaves [DWORD] int
Self explainatory
- TurbulenceSpeed [DWORD] int
Self explainatory
- TurbulenceForce [DWORD] int
Self explainatory
- ShowBubbles [DWORD] 0/1
Enable/Disable showing of background for bubbles
- MaterialGlass [DWORD] 0/1
Enable/Disable translucent bubble effects
- ShowShadows [DWORD] 0/1
Self explainatory
What are we supposed to do with it?
i'm not getting a readme file along with mystify, so it's not installing at all. any way you could re-up? that's the one i really want, and i can't find any other links! thank you...
