What Is A Screen Saver?

Windows Tasks
A screen saver is a program that displays an image or animation on your screen when your PC is idle. It was invented to insure that all parts of the monitor screen received equal amounts of illumination so a ghost image would not be "burned" onto the screen. Today's monitors don't have burn-in problems. Screen savers are fun and often entertaining.

Why can't I get the screen saver to run on Windows (Vers.)?

Frequently Asked Questions
far as I know this should run on any version of Windows from Win95 through XP Pro. I cannot provide tech support. To be the default screen saver, the .scr and .dat files must be in your C:\Windows folder for Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 and XP and in your C:\WINNT folder for Windows NT. Putting the files in your Windows folder does not automatically make them your default screen saver. You must do that manually by changing the desktop/display.

This would be illegal. We would have to license DOS from Microsoft, a license is needed for every diskette image we would send or make available for download. You do not want to know how expensive that is. In addition, Freedos has proven itself to be a worthy replacement when it comes to harddisk recovery.

How do I use Freeciv under MS Windows 95/98/NT ?

Civ
MS Windows support is relatively recent, and still experimental; Freeciv was originally written for Unix and the X window system, and is, in fact, extremely portable across Unix versions. One option is to install a Unix variant on your PC (such as Linux) and use that. The Freeciv client is unable to open a window on your local X display. Are you running an X server at all? Maybe you need to install and run one, or switch to a Freeciv that doesn't need X; see the previous question.
