The installation is smooth and easy. Just run the setup and it installs and registers. The screensaver itself is not bad. Screensaver have usually done very poorly in user ratings here so I doubt I can write anything to sway anyone's opinion. Like anything in life, moderation is the key. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a screensaver for a short period of time. Just don't overdo it.

To comment 1, Reality Check, look at this link for a program called Screensaver Commander. It does everything that the Astro Gemini manager does, even better IMHO..

I live in the country myself and I find the Astro Gemini screensavers to be a wonderful change from the boring, default windows screensavers. This screensaver shows a countryside scene with the camera rotating around a few houses, a bridge, and a snowman while the snow is falling. A nice, calming scenery. I see on their website that they have many other "christmas" screensavers for different tastes, just as nice.

You can change the music, gamma, clock (12hr or 24hr),mouse,and the amount and speed of snow in the settings.

It is a pleasure to walk into a room and see a lovely scene rather than some bubbles, numbers or shapes coming at you from the computer.
Thank you Astro Gemini for a lovely screensaver.

My computer froze up twice within 30 seconds of trying to run this thing.

Yes we all know screensavers are no longer necessary, but there is still a market for them, otherwise Astro Gemini and others that sell screensavers wouldn't still be selling them. I personally have purhased quite a few ov the last decade. I almost purchased the full set from Astro, but stopped when I realized we were getting loads via ths site. :)

Those of us who do still like to install them do so for the aesthetics. Maybe they should be renamed animated chillout stress relievers, lol :)

I occassionally like to look at some of my screensvers. Especially the fish oriented ones such as the Aquazone screensavers that Whiterabbit one recommended. (I purchased the Aquazone 2 set on your recommedation and have loved them ever since), or some of the ones originally given away here such as the Mechanical Clock, and the Dark Castle. There are others such as Koi Fish that are gorgeous (and look almost real) to look at and another one we got that I can't remember the name of but it has a hunter/pocket watch under water with leaves floating on top.

Some of the newer Astro Gemini screensavers, for example the sea storm one with a tornado over a stormy sea looks fabulous. I have that one set up to run at the moment. Another one I really like is G-Force screensaver (only availble with the platinum version) which is a random pattern generator that can be really psychedelic. Some big bands have used G-Force as a background to their sets. It changes with the music (an voice) you play. Brilliant.

Yes, for me at least, screensavers are still something I'd purchase, especially if they look good. I'm so pleased that you guys still give the occassional screensaver away. (We used to get them every other weekend three or four years ago).

odays n the otherhand look quite old. The graphics look very date.
