Easy to Use Wallpaper Controls

1. First you will need to download and install one of my Free Trial Screen Savers or purchase one by using one of the Purchase Details links.

2. Once you have your beautiful Natural Image Screen Savers installed:
Right-click the Screen Saver Icon on the Windows Task Bar and select "Configure Screen Saver".
In the Screen Saver List select the title of your Imagedancer Screen Saver you wish to configure.
Select the Wallpaper Tab and select the image you would like to use as your Desktop Background (Wallpaper).  You may also select how you would like the image presented, i.e., Stretched to fill the screen, Tiled with multiple images to fill the screen, or the original size of the selected image.
The Wallpaper selection may be changed at any time.  To revert to the Windows Desktop go to the Display Properties dialog box and select the image from the list presented there.  This feature applies to all Natural Image Screen Saver versions 2003 and later.

For more details and screen shots of the Wallpaper Controls
and Control Panel please, Click Here.

What are the system requirements for my Natural Image Screen Savers ?

Natural Image Screen Savers are designed to operate efficiently with minimal system requirements.  Systems with 16 meg RAM and a sound card capable of playing MP3 music files will do nicely so long as the operating system is Windows® 95, 98, ME, 2000, or NT4, you should enjoy your screen savers for a very long time.

How are CD based screen savers shipped ?

All Natural Image Screen Savers on CD-ROM will be shipped immediately for each order.  I ship by priority mail unless other arrangements are made.

How do I download a screen saver ?

Click Here for an illustrated version of the Download Process.

This simple process begins by selecting the screen saver you wish to download.  By clicking on the Free Trial Download link, the download process will begin automatically. 

After clicking on the desired screen saver link, a File Download dialog box will come up.  Click the Save Button to save the download Screen Saver file. 


Next, a Save As dialog box will come up allowing you to select where you would like to save the download Screen Saver file.  After selecting the folder you wish to save the download Screen Saver file in, simply click save and the download will begin.  Depending on the speed of your internet connection, the download will take from a few seconds or several minuets with a slower connection.

After downloading is complete, the download Box will allow you to Open or Close the Dialog Box. 

If you select Open, the Screen Saver Installation Program will begin the installation process imeadiately to guide you through the installation process.  If you select Close, you will need to locate the newly downloaded Screen Saver File to install it. 


Locate the file and simply double click on it. The .exe program will automatically decompress and begin the installation process. This file will install the new Screen Saver on your system in the same manner as any other Windows program. You may either double click on the file name (which will run the Windows installation program) or you can go to the Start Button and select Settings and then click Control Panel. In the Windows Control Panel select Add/Remove Programs. In the Add Programs dialog box, click the Install button. Use the Browse option to locate the Screen Saver exe program file. Follow the on screen installation instructions to complete the installation automatically. If you have any other questions about installation contact us directly at Imagedancer Support .

How much software overhead is included in the screen savers ?

The total size of a screen saver (including a single-exe installer and uninstaller, and Microsoft's OLE Automation Update-which is included by default) is between 3-5 MB for the Medium Resolution Screen Savers to between 8-10 MB for the High Resolution Screen Savers.

No audio plays during playing of my full selection screen saver, why ?

Natural Image Screen Savers include audio transitions during image changes. If this feature is enabled and no audio will play the user may not have Windows Media Player or Windows® 98,  2000, or XP . The screen saver may instruct the user to download Windows Media Player® from Microsoft's® web site.

What is Trialware ?

There are several ways you may obtain software.  Perhaps the familiar method is to purchase the product which includes a user license.  Downloabable products such as Natural Image Screen Savers are made available with a Free Trial Period that allows the user to utilize the software for a period of time before choosing to purchase the product.  This trial-type use is commonly referred to as Shareware or more properly Trialware.  You get to evaluate the software before purchase.  This type of try-before-you-buy arraignment is common in the download delivery business.  Thus the description: Trialware.  So if you like the product, come back and buy it.  That's how I stay in this modest business so I can keep offering free trial screen savers.

How do I uninstall a Natural Image Screen Saver ?

To Uninstall the screen saver, select the program from the Windows® Add/Remove list in the Add/Remove Programs Dialog box and click the Add/Remove button. Follow the on screen instructions to complete the uninstall.
