MCO worked with Jared Larock www.jaredlarock.com, a Denver-based graphic artist, to put this great screensaver together. Jared took the artwork from our shirt design and built a Flash animation with it. We then converted it to a screensaver using software from Screentime.

Download a copy for your system(s). Supported platforms include:
+ Mac OS8 and 9
+ OSX support is coming soon (there is a technical issue with the installer under OSX that should be resolved soon)
+ Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP

Let us know what you think. Give us your feedback on the official MCO screensaver.

Enjoy!

Mark

Interesting idea on the poster. How many people would be interested in something like this? If there is enough interest we'll definitely look into it.

Greatgo,
Glad to assist. Did it install successfully? If so, would you go to the Start Menu/Settings/Control Panel and double click on Display? Select the Screen Saver tab. In the screen saver pulldown do you see an entry for "Mini cooper online"? Make sure it is selected and click preview (don't move your mouse or hit a key on the keyboard). Does the saver display? If so, make sure that you have a specified a number of minutes in the "wait" field (ie - 5 to 15 minutes). Be sure to click "Apply" before leaving this screen.

Let me know if you continue to experience problems. Thanks!

Mark

Greatgro, Don't forget, it's also in a .ZIP file, you will need a program such as WinZip, or any of the other multitude of programs that can deal with .ZIPs

But it works just fine on my 98se machine... I just wished I had a job where I had my own PC so I could use it there...

Good question! I've been working with Screentime, the maker of the software I use, to get a usable version for Mac OSX. They have a version but for whatever reason, installation of the screensaver under some OSX systems (ie - mine), fail. I've been working with them for over a month and hopefully will have a resolution sometime in early November. I'll post a note when it is available. Sorry for the delay.
