DirectX 7 Screensaver

[Neon612]

I've created a DirectX7 DirectDraw screensaver that displays a series of images (movie like). I've got everything to work fine in VB but when I go to compile it to a *.scr file it won't let me preview it, or when the time runs out the screen goes black for a nano and whatever I had up before the time ran out is displayed. Just like the mousemove event is fired, but I know that is not the problem.

So what could be the problem?

I'll guess door #2? Pretty hard to tell. Try again, please.

Pardon ME but what are you talking about?

[dglienna]

Please provide the code that you used, or what ever made you think you could compile DirectX to a screensaver. I'm not sure as I haven't done it.

Your post didn't make a lot of sense.

EDIT: If you mean running the compiled app on a different machine, then read up on Package & Deployment Wizard

I'm trying to compile the app to a screensaver file to try out on my comp. and so far it isn't working properly.

Oh. I thought you had searched last night. Try this:

EDIT: It's for VB.Net. There is the default Screensaver in VS Express
