<description><![CDATA[#48, imacountrygirl, #58, consuella, expand the reviews for Easy to Install, Stable, User Friendly, Feature Rich, Reasonable Price, and Helpful Documentation at the top of this page, and note Happy Person's review of each.  I get tired of people trashing a product because they don't like the application genre or because their OS is messed up.  I've never had a screensaver fail to run.  Also, this screensaver doesn't "hack your OS", contain spyware or malware, etc.  It's just a screensaver.  And for all the other whiners, I don't run screensavers as screensavers, I run them standalone as relaxing CGI animations.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello...  It turns out that there was nothing wrong with the screen saver, but my direct X was broken or something.  I was able to install, activate, and run Big City Night 3D screen-saver with no problems of any kind after re-installing DIRECT X.  This is a keeper... It is not super great, but it is not bad either.  Thanks !
Windows Vista Ultimate 64x SP2 with the latest Direct X (fixed!)]]></description>

I agree. When I saw this, I was certain GOTD was giving away Manhattan.

This is not the first time that GOTD has misled people.

<description><![CDATA[Installed &amp; activated fine. Runs great on XP PRO SP3 32bit, Vista Ultimate 64bit, &amp; 7 Ultimate 64bit. Great as a free screensaver but not worth $14.95. Needs some help with graphics quality. Btw, I am running all 3 OS's on PCs with a 1.5GHz Intel Dual Core, 4GB RAM &amp; nVIDIA GeForce 9400GT.]]></description>

Your post is totally uncalled for. Happy Person deserves some respect for his daily contributions to GAOTD.
You are seing things when you say that Happy Person is whining endlessly about dll.
Did you stop taking your pills?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<strong>I can not preview the screensaver!</strong>

I dunno, but there might be a re-run for this since many people are getting errors and problems.

<description><![CDATA[@Thom Porter:  You said "2 easy ways to save energy with your computer:

1- Remove your Desktop background and set your desktop color to Black
2- Set your screen saver to “Blank”"

These would be true if you are using a CRT (tube) monitor.  However, these have no effect on the power consumption of an LCD monitor.  The power consumed by an LCD monitor is not affected by whether the display is showing white or black or anything else...the backlight is always active unless the monitor is in a sleep mode, and that is why the LCD monitors draw the same amount of power regardless of what is being displayed.

You pointed people to "blackle.com" to set their browser's home page to a dark background.  On that site they reference a report from 2002 about different ways to save energy with monitors.  As far as the white/black screen on LCDs, that report says:

"Among the few LCD monitors in the table, the power used to display a white screen is indistinguishable from power used to display the desktop.  Thus, it appears that display color is a significant determinant of on power for CRTs, but not for LCDs."

So, for the small percentage of people still using CRT monitors, your comments are correct.  For those using LCD monitors, a black screen consumes just as much power as a white screen.

The proper way to save power with either a CRT or an LCD monitor is to set your Windows power settings to turn off your monitor after x number of minutes.  The monitor doesn't actually "turn off," of course, it just goes into standby mode until you move your mouse or hit a key.  In standby mode, the monitors only consume a watt or two...just enough to watch for the signal from the computer so they know when to return to normal mode.]]></description>
