Yes, I did . . . seems to be in a loop? Running the "catfood earth screensaver settings" pops up the Windows screensaver settings; I hit the settings button and it pops up "run catfood earth settings to configure catfood earth screensaver". The catfood earth settings doesn't seem to have any settings for the screensaver.

Did you run the 'Catfood Earth Screensaver Settings' shortcut?

The other thing to try might be reinstalling the .NET 4.8 Framework Runtime and see if something is missing from that.

Jessie

I'm afraid that didn't help. I've verified that I've got version 4.30.0003, I've rebooted, but the catfood earth screensaver still doesn't click into screensave.

I'm running 64-bit Windows 10 Home version 21H2 with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz processor, if that affects this any.

Thanks--

Jessie, I managed to reproduce this problem on one computer and have just released a fix in 4.30 together with some other changes. Can you update, and then run the 'Catfood Earth Screensaver Settings' shortcut - this will make sure the screen saver configuration is correct. Let me know if this helps.

Jessie

Well, I rebooted, tried the screensaver again, and once again it refused to go into screensave mode. I hope there's another switch to set somewhere!

Robert Ellison

Jessie, sorry, 4.20 is right, the other version was WebCamSaver. Try rebooting, there may be a lock that is stuck. If that doesn't help I'll look some more.

Jessie

I've got 4.20.0028, which I downloaded yesterday from this site.

And when when I click preview, it shows the proper catfood earth image. I hit "apply" or "OK", but when I walk away from the computer for a while (longer than my 1-minute setting!) it doesn't pop into screensave mode.

Robert Ellison

Hi Jessie, do you have the latest version? 3.29.0002. What happens if you pick the Catfood Earth screen saver and then click Preview?

Jessie

I love the wallpaper but the screensaver doesn't work? Other integrated screensavers work . . . I was hoping I wouldn't have to use them.

Still running Windows 10.

Thanks--

Robert Ellison

Barry, should be fixed. Update to 4.01 and configure the screensaver by running the start menu link to 'Catfood Earth Screensaver Settings' under Catfood Software.
