    I've never actually used them myself, so I've no idea if they're any use.

    Those programs work but they dont seem to be able to read divx files. Is there any way around this?

    Download AVISS from my site:
    http://www.trekpulse.com/ent/mult/downloads/starfleetcom/aviss.zip

    I have a few enterprise lcar vids there that can be used as screensavers (http://www.trekpulse.com/ent/mult/screensavers.htm)

    Should work fine.

    Same thing man, blank screen, with sound. It's not using the divx codec to decode the .avi. Any ideas? I already have a divx codec installed, just need to tell the program to use it.

    Actually i think i set the display to windows player or something like that... See if that works.. I don't recall selecting divx from the menu
    After all, it's a program that will play it... the Codec can't play the file directly

    get powertools here

    works with XP...not sure what other OS.

    Can use video playlists along with single video files as the screensaver

    That requires windows media player 9. I hate media player 9, it's annoying as feck. Any versions that'll work with media player 8?
