You will see "Branded" in ScreenSaver tab. Thats it.
Screenies:

Tested on Turkish Windows XP Sp2, and working without erors.
Note: Please remember that, this screen saver is ported from Vista to Xp. So your hardware needs to be capable (This's just from errors you got).

Thanks for the report Rick. I corrected typo, uploading right now. Should be ready in 10mins (slow connection

)

Did you try on real system or vmware? cos it doesnt work in vmware, gives the same error you got. Works great here, and i didnt do special for it

Edit: Upload is done.

Bran.man must be renamed to Branded.scr.manifest and must be in one dir with Branded.scr

ricktendo64 · Post by **ricktendo64** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 1:12 pm

Does anybody have the unpatched one from Vista I want to try it with VAIO

@colornokia thats what this line in the INF file accomplishes

Branded.scr.manifest,Bran.man

Did it work for you colornokia?

Tasslehoff · Post by **Tasslehoff** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 1:23 pm

Yep that bran.man file has to be renamed to what colournokia said although I've only tried manually installing from the inf file.
Edit: weird after deleting all the files from system32 and then reinstalling it seems to work.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 1:32 pm

Hey men, thats kinda odd, but i already have this in inf file, just use it to install

Code: Select all

[ScreenSaver.Copy]
Branded.scr
Branded.scr.manifest,Bran.man
engine.dll
msvcr80.dll

But, can you confirm its working for ya. Then i can change title to release?

It's working like charm

It's set now for my default ss
My post was only about the error which ricktendo64 was getting.
Guys you're doing great job here

Sorry for the confusion

I get "Unspecified error encountered". (Installed with .inf file.)

I'll try renaming.
PS: Using the version currently up. Just downloaded.

[EDIT]
I tried renaming. Then the .inf couldn't find the file. SO, I re-wrote a couple of the entries referring to "bran.man". It installed without errors, but still don't work.

I tried executing from the folder. Same problem.

Just downloaded another one. Same error. So, I'm assuming it's not your pack, and probably my low-end graphics card.

Oh well. I'm tempted to buy one just to see this. Looks nice.

Installs fine in VM Ware but of course you will get an "unspecified error" when you try to run it cos the virtual machine virtual graphics is too low to cope. Not tested yet on a real install.

Thanks for feedback friends. And RaGhul, i didnt understand correctly (lack of english), does it work for ya?

ricktendo64 · Post by **ricktendo64** » Wed Jan 03, 2007 1:12 pm

I think it might my graphix card also... I have integrated (Yuck)

RaGhul · Post by **RaGhul** » Wed Jan 03, 2007 2:24 pm

Yeah,
integrated gpu here, too. Kinda funny. We're all PC junkies, and we're all workin' off of crackpot PCs.

No, DmX. Didn't work. But I'm pretty sure it's my graphics card. No worries.

Sorry mates, i didnt know about hardware side of this. I am using radeon x300 here (not great but doin its job

, listed as vista capable), and screensaver works. I will put a note in first post that users need a vista capable graphics card.
Apologies again for any inconvenience.
