    My Screensavers aren't working since I upgraded to Win7.
    My laptop is just over a year old.
    I got it with Vista downgraded to XP Pro
    My screensaver worked great...great smooth images
    Problem:
    I reformatted and started scratch with Win7 Pro
    The display adapters popped in automatically when Win7 was installed.
    However, now my screen savers don't work smooth.
    I tried to install the drivers from before, but that didn't work. Got a message stating that the installation wasn't compatible with the current version of windows.
    The screen saver is an OpenGL screen saver.
    I found by internet searching that my card GM965 Mobile Chipset doesn't work with anything higher than OpenGL 1.5

    Now how can this be? And how can I get it to work again?

    Hi

    Does OpenGL 1.5 not work ok? sadly you may find that your Graphics Card being an Intel onboard one is not upto the job with Windows 7, or maybe the screensaver is not Windows 7 compatible, is their any latest versions of this screensaver?
