On holidays and weekends, instead of screensavers, which are completely obsolete now that there are plenty of free software to automatically switch your desktop wallpaper at specified time intervals, INSTEAD you should offer up a compiled list of free software (with links, and possibly with verification that it is virus- and adware-free) from comments in the previous wee, or even an ongoing updated master list of free software users like , sorted by software type, checked and edited by GOTD users. I think most would find this entirely useful, and certainly far more useful than screensavers.

Thank you for all your work and this wonderful page!

Downloaded & Installed, error missing .dll file. After uninstalling my previous screensaver was missing a file… not so great.

#27 and #46
It looks like you need to manually copy the “Astro Gemini Screensaver Manager.scr” and “Thanksgiving 3D Screensaver.scr” files from the \windows\syswow64 folder to the \windows\system32 folder. Once I did that, they show up in the screen saver area on my x64 Vista Ultimate box.

I don’t run screensavers … but I installed this just to enjoy the art/graphics… Plays like a beautifully rendered animated movie… Nice.. but could be nicer .. 6/10..

Overall 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
Installed beautifully and activation was easy.
This screen saver does consume a good deal of resources, but not too many that you can’t enjoy it. I did notice from an earlier post that it does appear the turkeys are skating. LOL Both myself and husband got a kick out of this one.
* A thought for Astro Gemini- Ice skating penguins for a Christmas screen saver. I would love to see something like that.
It does need more tweaking to it.
Thanks GAOTD!

Mmm, A waste of power when we’re supposed to be conserving energy.

Screensavers SHOULD be made illegal…A lot easier and cheaper to hit that *power off* button.

I see a lot of the older GOTD users have stopped posting, Are there only children use this site now with no idea?

Un-install and a thumbs down seems to be the order of the GOTD site to most now, Forget the comments…just look at the Screensaver comments here now to just a few months ago!

I’m guessing the negative comments are now being deleted to make the software given look better than it actually is!

Although I missed yesterdays giveaways due to the fact that i was redoing my entire network, I’m sure glad I got things up and running again in time to add yet another beautiful astro gemini screensaver to my collection!

This is an okay screen saver once you turn off the sound and clock features.

On Vista-64 it doesn’t show up under Personalize -> Screen Savers, so there’s no way to set the “Wait” time.

Astro Gemini violates the principle of asking permission before installing additional software on a user’s computer. This categorizes the screen saver manager progras as malware. The only reason for hiding an installation would be if it were spyware or adware.

I like the artwork of this screensaver! Beautiful and I love all the different scenes. The only thing that stopped me was the horse. Oddly, it’s front legs look like they belong to a human in a horse costume. I hope that’s not too harsh, but I had to comment because it was the only thing that stopped me,for a second or two, from enjoying the different scenes. Regardless, thank you so much GAOTD. This is another really amazing screensaver that I will show to my coworkers. CJ
