Installing and Configuring Green Screen
Savers 1.3.2a
"Jumping Frog Green Saver", "Jumping Cricket Green Saver", "Jumping Katydid Green Saver" and "Kangaroo Rat Green Saver"are Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2K, XP applications which display an animated picture (with optional sound) on your screen for a user selected period of time. The screen will then go completely blank so that Energy Star monitors can enter a power saving mode. The purpose of these Green Screen Savers is to allow the use of Energy Saving monitors installed on Windows NT (which does not support DPMS). They are also useful on Windows 9x when used with on older video controller which either do not support DPMS or do not have a Windows 9x driver. The monitor must support being configured to enter power saving mode upon sensing a blank screen. The screen savers will of course work properly with any monitor and video controller, but the monitor will only go into a power saving mode if the previous condition is met. This application is designed to work on Windows NT 3.5x, Windows NT 4.0, 2K, XP and Windows 9x, ME; it will not work properly on 16-bit Windows 3.x.
To install the Green Screen Savers, extract the files in the archive file to a floppy disk or into a temporary subdirectory (folder) of your choice. Then execute INSTALL.EXE from within that subdirectory. The installation program automatically install the Green Screen Savers into the %windir%\SYSTEM(32)
directory. You may also copy the files directly into the appropriate Windows\SYSTEM(32) directory using the format shown in the following paragraphs. If you change this directory to anything other than the root Windows\SYSTEM(32) directory, the Windows control panel program will not be able to find the screen savers. (%windir% is the root Windows directory on your system)
