Taunia, I don't use a screen saver, but if you do a search on your browser, you'll come up with many, many sites! I have one in my machine called "Underwater" that came with a Plus! theme, I think. If the cat you saw was black and white, it may(?) be the "Felix" one that some in the COmputer Help forum were talking about some time back..you may want to ask over there....but that may be more of a screen mate, than screen saver.....good luck!

D A, I will rid myself of the screen saver and change all to NEVER. As for the RAM, I don't really understand why it is an issue...... AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BEFORE THAT IT IS...... What must I do to get more RAM? I am a person who does absolutely NOTHING important with my computer. My computer is for fun. I have lots of saved crafty stuff in my documents.... Many envelopes in there....Lots of Bookmarks and of course some pictures. I disk scan often and also defrag. You mention configuring the startup and services to disable all unnecessary application entries from running. Does that mean to do more than just eliminate what shows on the START menu? I do not have much on the START menu. So what should I get rid of to get more RAM? --------------------------- Zep, not too long ago my computer was doing non-stop buzzing noices. Sounded like when a fly buzzes around your head. Everybody tells me that I need a hearing aid, well, I could hear this buzzing in my next room. I took off the side from the tower and it was soooo dirty. I used that spray stuff and also had to carefully sweep off with a small paint brush. THAT took care of the buzzing, so now I know it is not too dirty in there. The sound is different now. It is not as loud as the buzzing and it is more like a whirring sound........My blue light does not blink when the computer is working. There is a tiny red light that DOES blink once in a while. Yes, I do believe that I need to do something. I need to get me one of those external hard drives and get my pictures out from this computer, that is the only important thing in there . I sure do wish I knew more about computers. Zep, you wrote.........(The light blinks when the hard drive is running or doing something. That to me sounds like a failing Hard drive. So you're in risk of loosing any saved files, pictures, documents. etc.)......... Please clarify to me...Are you telling me that it sounds like a failing Hard drive BECAUSE the light blinks when the hard drive is running or doing something OR are you telling me that it is supposed to blink when the H drive is running or doing something............It blinks ONLY when I mentioned that the monitor goes black and STAYS black on me. ----------------------- Thank you both. I am doing what I was advised and will see what happens. I might come back for more advise. thanks and VAL, glad you were able to solve your problem. Wish me luck, HHH

This product from Roku offers High Definition picture output for an artwork look from flatpanel displays. The product has been given very good reviews, however I have not used one. Here is a link that might be useful: Roku HD Media Player

I don't use a screensaver anymore. I used to alternate between Maxine and Johnny Castaway but never got to setting them up. I just use a blank screen. I do change wallpaper occasionally, probably a couple times a year. I have a couple that I like in the wintertime and toward the holidays. Then I switch on occasion if I get tired of looking at the same one. I like weather scenes, sunrise/sunset, ships and the like. I just changed my wallpaper the other day from the Arthur M. Anderson to a windmill, and come to think of it, that's the one I used before I switched to the Anderson. See Dottie? Even a young punk like you isn't too young to start learning! Now pull up your pants, turn your hat around and go get a job!!!
