Would have been helpful if ednlible told us.
I did some 2min research and found this site Here . This "mod" doesnt really change the settings for the speed but it does allow you to tweak some other stuff for the bubbles screensaver. Just have a mess with some of the settings and see how things go from there. Sorry if this sounds vague but its all i can think up of right now - better than nothing i guess. M$ really does need to fix this, theyve nothing for ages now :(
I tried the tweaking of the screensavers and although I like the effect on the Mystify and the Ribbons, I still have yet to find a fix for my very few and very slowwwww bubbles saver. What is weird is my daughter almost has the same exact laptop as me running the same apps as me (she's a mini-me :o) yet, her bubbles screensaver behaves the way it should. As does my gaming desktop computer. Just my sad BRAND NEW laptop refuses to run the screensaver the way it should run.
I really hate bugs in operating systems...I guess that's the other reason it drives me completely bat crazy. Even when I DO NOT use a feature, if it has a bug you can guarantee I am all over the web looking for a solution. So many wasted hours...hmm sad really.
part way up this thread someone posted a way to get into the file structure to edit some of the changes. it seems easy enough... g/l
hey MicroSoft, still waiting over here!!!
Apple here i come!!
what site are you referring too???
i have tried to disable the dual monitor/extended desk top to see if that maybe the cause. it wasnt. glad to see that i am not the only one with this issue. although to some this may seem trivial, but for me, it is a part of W7 that is broken and i would like to have it fixed.
this coming weekend i will try to do a 'repair' function using the W7 dvd and will see how that works out.
null:
as for waiting for 2min to have this happen, no. for me it is over 2-4hrs later(im not constantly watching the monitors). guaranteed, the following morning though.
