Jo Ann, I actually thought about this some more. And, I came up with another
solution that will work probably 99% of the time. If you use a screen
capture/logging app, whenever a screen shoit is taken, it should grab the
screen. Screen captures that are done, basically, with spy and logging
programs. One example that comes to mind is called SpyTech SpyAgent, by SpyTech
( http://www.spytech-web.com ). The program is used to track and log EVERYTHING
that's done on your computer. It logs every site you've been to, every window
that's been opened, every application ran, plus more. One of the logging
features is the ability to capture the screen every xx seconds. So, you can set
it to take a snapshot every like 5 seconds (or less, if so desired). Since the
keyboard isn't touched, the screen saver won't kick out. I HAVE used these sort
of screen loggers, and I can tell you that it DOES take a snapshot of the
screen saver. You just need to make sure its set to take it at the best
quality. SpyAgent I think has a trial version you might be able to use without
needing to buy it.

| Thanks Troth,
| Appreciate your effort. Guess I'll just have to appreciate it as a

| hmm... never heard of those file extensions. They're obviously not anything
| of the ordinary. One other suggestion, maybe, is to find a screensaver
| creation program, that maybe will make you sort of "unpack" the screen saver
| you have. I know nothing about coding, so I can't even say if that's
| possible. Wish I'd be able to give you a better answer.
