IF YOU ARE using Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000, then you will surely relate to what I am about to share with you today.
Screen savers in these operating systems (O/S) have never been the best thing.
Improvements were made by using additional software called Microsoft Plus, which enhanced the look and feel of the operating system. However, Microsoft Plus requires a lot of RAM and CPU power, hence several persons decided to skip this programme.
Years have passed, and Microsoft has decided to share something new with their customers.
MSN screen saver helps protect your screen from regular burnouts by providing constant movement on your screen.
Personalise with background photos and news and weather information from MSN or any RSS feeds from websites you choose.
Search the Web and click news headlines directly from the screen saver.
Stay connected with MSN Hotmail, MSN Messenger, and MSN Spaces. Track how many unread Hotmail messages and current Messenger conversations you have, and display blogs and photos from your friends' MSN Spaces.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
Important features such as:
Weather display now includes international cities
Support for proxy servers for LANs with firewalls
Close by clicking a close button or on the background
Ability to disable display of background images
You can always get a free copy of MSN Screen Saver from the website, www.microsoft.com.
