Hello. First, I absolutely love this screensaver! One question. The settings can't be saved. When applying some changes het screensaver goes back into settings that it was on. I hope this can be fixed. Best regards, Roberto.

  • Hello Roberto,

    Yes, unfortunately this screensaver tries to store the settings in a separate file inside the same folder that the screensaver resides in. Usually this is the Windows folder, and the screensaver does not have permission to make changes there.

    One alternative is to move the screensaver file from your Windows folder to a different folder, ideally one inside your user folder. You could put it in C:\Users\Roberto\Documents (or Downloads) or create a new folder under your user folder specifically for screensavers, like C:\Users\Roberto\Screensavers.

    Windows won't automatically find the screensaver(s) inside that folder, so each time you want to change your screensaver you'll need to go to that folder, right-click the screensaver file and choose "Install". Then it will remain the active screensaver until you choose a different one from the list.

    Once you've installed it from that folder and changed the settings, you should see an additional settings file like zzPipe.ini show up in the same folder further questions, and the settings you've changed should stick.

    Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
