I used that a while back and it always ran perfectly and started up instantly.

Can you tell us the brand and model of your graphics card please?

And also, the other specifications of your computer? Thanks

That's a sweet screen-saver.

I'm using an nVidia 6600GT with the latest XP drivers, no glitches - even when its turned up to the maximum. (Except for slight tearing when it starts up).

I can't really imagine a card made within the last 5 years not supporting OGL.

Or ten years even, I had OpenGL support in 97 [lol, I would have been 11]. I guess there may have been some el-cheapo cards back then that didn't, but there was little point building D3D without OpenGL back then, and without either, they were essentially just framebuffers. Heh, that even predates Glide, I think.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.

That screen saver is very, very nice. I remember using flurry on my friend's Powerbook. Its very impressive. Thanks for the link. (runs perfectly on my BFG 7900 gs oc, a flurry on both monitors, and accurate double buffering.)

Yep, and it works fine on my (ATI) Sapphire X1950 Pro (comparable to 7900GS and GT)..

I have noticed while playing World of Warcraft that if the screensaver comes on the PC lags like hell - it takes up to five minutes to cancel it off.

If you have an nVidia card, install their general drivers from their site. If you have an ATi card, install the general drivers from the AMD site.

O.P. RE: Flurry screensaver - OpenGL?!
I found the problem: I was using the right drivers for the card (WinFast A250 128MB DDR). I tried the GeForce4 Ti 4400 drivers (which I remember seeing before I formatted) and it works like magic.

I'm now just playing with it, looking at the presets. I have to say, it's a cool saver.
