della - you should point to the original website where its from - it's not a good idea for people to just run exe programs they get sent or find on a forum, even if it is from someone (you) we trust - we don't know where you got it from.

[im sure the file you uploaded was fine but i think we have to be cautious these days about people downloading and running random files..]

there are some desktop light free fun programs on the web - let's find the real websites and post them.

I would really like to see a screensaver program with high resolution holiday lights that blink and change colors and look really nice, I tried TwinkleBulbs but it was pretty cheesy as a screensaver and low quality graphics.  I've tried searching for something else, but to no avail.  Someone here must have something of the sort?  Would be really nice to get the Holiday spirit flowin.

It might not be exactly what you had in mind, but I have a 'christmas lights' screensaver that I made a long time ago, on my art site.

I was going to post this as a reply before but wasn't sure if I should.

It's on the screensavers page...can't miss it.

Thanks for the link app, although not exactly what I was looking for.
