Yes, but it isn't a true server. It is a standard user application for interactive use, not simply running silently. The screensaver is a kind of 'addon' that interacts with this user application to get images. So, it's not a true server.

I also looked into asynchronous RPC, and I might be able to use that, but it only works for Windows 2K and XP. But then again, who is still using some older version of windows... so, i'm gonna try it out.
