Wasn’t worth the time to download. Graphics and animation below today’s standards. I didn’t try the sound/music.

I know this is over, but I have uninstalled this now – The frequent pop up advertising was annoying as hell, and I dont care WHO is saying I did it wrong – I tried two times, to the letter each time, and still those ads kept appearing. So, unfortunate, Because I didnt mind it, but – there WERE ads, and they never appeared until this installation, so – it had to go…

So, I know how you feel, #22 and 23, and also 66 – and just anyone who copped the same advertising crap I did – lose the pretty dinosaurs, and you should lose the ads, simple as that! Thanks…

Final follow up. I have unistalled the screen saver. Unfortunately it killed my firewall. Roots Web desktop firewall. I had to uninstall my firewall from control panel, restart the computer, run ccleaner reconnect to the net download the firewall again and reinstall it. Of course this didn’t all happen so smoothly and on the 4th try I think everything is alright again. Also had to run ccleaner and windows washer to get rid of the screen saver before I did all this. Not happy.:-(

My toddler son loves Dinosaurs so this download was to satisfy his appetite. Installed and activated fine on XP sp3. Thanks GAOTD.

Ok. I seem to have gotten my firewall going again for now. I may have been a little harsh on the company and quick of the mark but anything that messes with my firewall puts me into defence mode. Still very wary. Yet to see if I have to manually start my firewall each time at start up. I still hold hopes of getting this screen saver going.
On parole.
The advert remains a problem. Do I need a registration from somewhere?
Thanks anyway giveawayoftheday it seems to have worked for others.

why is there no game giveaway today? does anyone know the reason why?
my parents took me on a trip today and when I came back I checked to see if it came up. it was not up when we left this morning and it is still not up and it is now 5 minutes till bedtime. I did not want to miss it, and now I will have to. Hope there is 3 games this weekend since I could not find the one given out today anywhere.

I have the programme running but like so many others I have the advertisement pop-up. :-(
(Where do you get a registration to stop this?)
I also noted that as soon as I installed it my firewall was closed down and I have been unsuccessful in starting it again. I will be uninstalling the screen saver if I can’t get around it. With lots of kids it looks great but not worth the hassles. A shame I liked it. Won’t be buying anything from that company.

#61, eeZee, wow, lighten up. I didn’t call you hilarious, I called your screensaver reviews hilarious. You always take the marketing hype which everyone knows is marketing hype, put it in bold, treat it as if it were serious, and trash it. To me, that’s sarcastic, not a serious review. And what “animation laws”? Will some “animation police” haul you off if you break them? I take screensavers for what they are–a diversion, something to use for a break. I don’t expect them to be serious, accurate, or educational. I try to address both the positive and negative aspects of the offerings in my review. The graphics in this could be better, but they’re pretty good compared to your typical screensaver. I’ve always said that I don’t think it’s particularly fair to compare them to games. Games generate far more revenue, may use advanced game engines, and may require more GPU than many people who use screensavers have in their computers. To me, the main problem with this offering is that it’s too repetitive.

If people are receiving ads in their browser, I can only assume that they installed the toolbar. Most toolbars are bad. Apart from special application toolbars, the only one I use is the Google Toolbar beta. It’s just a very handy add-on for IE, it doesn’t run outside of IE, and it doesn’t insert ads anywhere.
