Why don't you google for the answer. Check this <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/video/5942/how_to_transfer_images_from_your_kodak.html" rel="nofollow">video</a>. See if it helps. Let us know if it worked out. Hi Shanon,

It actually is a flash movie extractor which then turns flash into screensaver or exe installator. So, it is "The Flash way". Of course, the prog is not free, but for clients screensavers must be excellent. I create screensavers for my clients with Bytescout SWF to Screensaver Scout utility.

I'm going to be creating a screensaver to help my clients remember the principles of successful personal finance (which basically is more mindset than money - with the correct mindset the money will follow). I'll try these ways first to see what it looks like and then decide whether I need to create it some other way. Regards, Karen Leslie Thanks for the article.

Screensavers can be complex programs too depending on what you want it do (as Mark asks you). Here's what <b>Wikipedia</b> says... <i> Screensavers are usually designed and coded using a variety of programming languages as well as graphics interfaces. Typically the authors of screensavers use the C or C++ programming languages, along with Graphics Device Interface (GDI), DirectX, or OpenGL, to craft their final products. Several Mac OS X screensavers are created and designed using the Quartz Extreme graphics layer. The screensaver interfaces indirectly with the operating system to cause the physical display screen to be overlaid with one or more graphic 'scenes'. The screensaver typically terminates after receiving a message from the operating system that the mouse has been moved or a key has been pressed. </i> Here's a <b>resources</b> to help you out... http://www.wischik.com/scr/ Hi Jon,

One that I had to pay for! The screen saver had a purpose. My client was hosting a conference and had several PCs set up in a lobby for people to check their e-mail. The artwork I created was a large, animated logo and some text about how great their company was.
