Does your system have onboard video, Flurry is an open GL screensaver, video card needed. It does not state this in
dropdown list, most that are will say it is. I could not use until installed video card.

Hi everyone,
@Corky O : Yes, that's exactly what I did. The last thing I tried is to right click on the .scr file and to choose "install"... Anyway the installation is good because flurry.src appears in the task list after some minutes.
@DD : I have XP SP2
@CC : I have ATI (Mobility) Radeon X700 installed
Thanks anyway.
Other things : the problem is not specific to Flurry, "Alpha Galaxy" doesn't work... but the original windows screensavers work.

What did you do to install it?
A screensaver should be nothing more that a ".scr" file which - in Windows 2000 or XP - is placed in "C:\WINDOWS\system32" folder (where "C" is the letter drive).
You then use the "Display Properties > Screen Saver tab > select screensaver from list > click "Apply".
If your procedure differs from this on either Windows 2000 or XP, you might try this way instead.
Note - make sure the file you have is a ".scr" file, and test the functionality using the default Windows theme - then customize after verification.
I hope this helps in some way.
