    If you want to be able to make quick and simple screensavers based on game themes, have a look at this place:
    http://www.sunpoint.net/~akirjavainen/

    Scroll down the page until you see the 'Slideshow Screen saver' and click on the download page. Scroll down again and then click on one of the mirrors. If you have any problems, you might also need to download some of the extras from the top of the page.

    Once it is installed read the 'readme' and copy the files to your windows directory as it suggests. You then use the setting options (Start/settings/displayproperties/screensaver) and tell it where to look for your images. The easiest thing to do is copy all of your game related pictures into one directory and have the screensaver look there.

    Those in the know will know that you can do a similar thing with the BG2 screensaver you can download from this site as part of the BG2 theme package. However, this saver is slightly more flexible in the types of graphics it can show and saves you having to change your BG2 saver.

    For thse who don't know about the BG2 themes look here:

    PS anyone know of any other free programmes that let you make multiple different screensavers?
