Vedanta Images Screensaver

The link below downloads a free program for spiritualizing your computing environment. The program is a Windows95 screensaver that uses images from the Vedanta website; our apologies to Internet users running on other platforms: it runs only in Windows 95 or Windows NT. Before you download and install, please read the following notes. At this time, the program does not automatically configure itself. (Similar instructions will also appear during installation, but you will not be able to save or print them at that time.)

Screensaver Configuration

After running the install program, click "Start" at the lower left corner of the desktop.
Choose "Settings" - "Control Panel" - "Display."
Choose the tab "Screen Saver."
In the text field labeled "Screen Saver," select "jpgsaver."
Select a "Wait Time," the number of seconds the system will wait for a keystroke or mouse movement before starting the screensaver.
Other options are available through the "Settings" button.
You can also set a password. This will prevent anyone from stopping the screensaver and using the system unless they know the password.
That's it! Now your system will automatically display its collection of spiritual images whenever you leave it idle for the "wait time" you specified. Now, if only our minds were so easy to set up...

About Screensavers

So, what is a screensaver? And why is it called that? A screensaver is a program that automatically displays some constantly changing image or images to the screen when you leave your computer on without hitting a key, moving the mouse, or running any other program. It normally ends when you do touch a key or move the mouse, although you can usually set a password that you must enter to end it and use the system. This allows you to leave your system and know that no one can use it while you are away.

These programs are called "screensavers" because if you leave your screen displaying anything that doesn't move for a long time, it can cause a permanent mark or "burn" where the image displayed. A program that automatically begins an ever-changing display whenever you leave the system idle prevents this damage.

Can you use your own images? Yes, certainly. The Vedanta images that come with the program are included and compressed for your convenience only. The program will display any image files you place in the \images directory. The location of that directory is even configurable through the Windows Registry, but only experts should go there.
