   Have tried to uninstall Animated screensaver posted in Feb. 2011 and it won't uninstall... Have tried Control panel uninstall... and it's still there. Any help would be appreciated. It uses too much of my CPU resources.

   Thanks JustJan

   You may first need to deselect the screensaver. Open "Control Panel", open "Display", click the "Screen Saver" tab, pick something from the drop down menu other than the animated screensaver (or simply pick "none"). Then try to uninstall it.

   I assume this is the program you're referring to: Moon Light Animated Wallpaper http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/moon-light-animated-wallpaper/ ? It may look like a screensaver but it's actually wallpaper.

   To change the wallpaper, open "Control Panel", open "Display", click the "Desktop" tab, and pick another background.

   You should have an uninstall option under "Desktop Paints" but if not I wouldn't worry. Once you change the wallpaper to something else it will quit running.

   Try looking for the .scr file,and you can just delete it like any other file.
   Screen savers are easy to locate. Windows keeps them in the SYSTEM32 folder within the Windows folder. The file extension is ".scr" for "screen saver".
