I am using Windows ME. I have seen screensavers that have
text rolling across the screen on other computers. Is this
something I can do on my system, or is it something I have
to download from somewhere. And if so, where do I get it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to
e-mail me at . Thank you. MMAIRE

It's probably already installed on your system - or at least available.

First check Add/Remove Programs |Windows Setup|Accessories
make sure that the Screen Savers option is checked -if not, then Check it,
and OK out - reboot.

Then, in an empty area of the desktop, right-click, and select Properties
Click on the Screen Save tab
select 'Scrolling Marquee' from the drop-down list, and edit the Settings'
to your preference.

Done!
