and/or whether you want to simply open it or run it after it downloads.

The file is approximately 70 megabytes in size.

The feb2012 in the file name is for February of 2012.
The numbers in the file name will help you pick the latest version.

If you download an update*, be sure to note where it lands or tell your computer to "open" it |or "run" it
as soon as it is downloaded. (When installing any software, it is recommended that you first save your work
and close all open windows.) After the file is downloaded, go to the folder that has the file with the appropriate name
and double click on the file name.

Pick the latest version of the screensaver according to the date in its file name. This same name will occur in the
standard Windows menu for picking screensavers and setting the number of minutes of idle time before the
screensaver starts.

Later versions will have a new name, e.g. Setup MLPdec2012.exe for a December, 2012 release.
Older versions can be deleted.

ONE more essential NOTE ... We are often asked for permission to use
our photos for both commercial and private projects. Here is the standard rule.
Photos (and videos) can be used only if they are given a photo credit that reads
as follows: photo courtesy of www.MountainLake.com
For web applications, this photo credit needs to be a working link.
In print, it must be legible without using strong reading glasses.

You will not be able to save individual photos from the screensaver.
If you see a photo that you could use in a project, write to
relax@MountainLake.com with a detailed description of the photo.
We will then send you its high resolution original which can
be used as you wish, after you give it the proper photo credit.

Below are older instructions from when the screensaver was on our web server.
They probably are not important ... however ... if you have difficulty and a
geek in the family, read on ....

If you can't get the file to download or install, your computer probably
has a security feature turned on that is blocking it from running the
screensaver's exe file. It would be difficult and wordy to explain here
what sort of messages every computer might say. You are welcomed to
email us at relax@MountainLake.com for assistance (or call our office
at 970-627-3103 for help). Or have a youngster help you; he or she
may know more about your computer than we do.

Be sure the file is saved with its exe extension for an application.
Some browsers attempt to save the file with an htm or html extension.
If that happens accidentally, there is no harm, but it will not open
properly. You can manually rename the file by setting the .exe at the
end of its current name. (If you see strange code, the file still has the htm
extension and your brower is trying to show the digital data in the photographs
as a web page. The strange code is harmless. It it occurs, close the window and
start over by RIGHT CLICKING
on the link above and selecting the "Save Target As..." option.)

Be sure to note where the big file is going to be sent by your
computer. It will probably be the same folder to which your most
recent download was sent. You can manually specify the
folder in which the file is to land. You might also have the
option of telling your computer to "open" the file as soon as
it is downloaded. (When installing any software, it is
recommended that you first save your work and close
all open windows.) After the file is downloaded, go to
the folder that has the file with the appropriate name
and double click on the file name to open it. The screensaver
will install and be ready to run in a minute or less.

For visitors to our office, we have a limited number of
screensaver CD's to use as a stocking stuffer for yourself or friends!
We are located on the last block of Grand Lake's short main street.
Look for us on the sunny side of the boardwalk.

After the screensaver has been installed, you no longer
need the CD or the file you downloaded. Pass the CD along
to friends and family. The install program will take care
of the next few steps automatically. To make changes later,
you need to do the following.
