Ready for Thanksgiving!
Our new November 2007 Grand Lake, Colorado Screensaver
to transport you to Colorado's Four-Season High Country
If you have a super fast internet connection and it's late at night then
RIGHT-click here or on the link below to download the 33 megabyte file.
Make sure the file saves with a .exe at the end of its file name.
To ensure a smooth transmission of the file, try to wait on doing
other tasks on your computer until the file is fully downloaded.
If you can't get the file (or want more!!!) come to our office in
Grand Lake and we will give you an even larger file on a CD.
We tend to run out of these CDs. If you have requested one
before and didn't get it, we were probably waiting to get the
new update ready. Write to us by email and we will try to mail the
new version well before Christmas. These screensavers are excellent
stocking stuffers. Our office is on the boardwalk, near the east end,
of Grand Lake Village on the sunny (North) side of main street.
You may also reach us by telephone toll-free: 866-296-1949.
Below are detailed instructions. The CD has a readme file with the same instructions.
Download Screensaver File called mountainlakeNov07.exe
Right Click on the link and choose "Save Target As..."
or "Save Link As .." 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 making with the .exe at the end of its 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.)
It is a huge 33 megabyte file; it will give your connection a workout.
The Nov07 in the file name is for November of 2007.
If a bunch of code appears on your screen, it is harmless,
but you should probably close that 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 that your most
recent download was sent to. 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.
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.
Later versions will have a new name, e.g. mountainlakeMar08.exe
for a March, 2008 release. These distinct names will keep you
from running older versions of our screensaver. Older versions
can be deleted or kept if you have the disk space and are not
experiencing software conflicts. This screen saver uses all new
software. It should be compatible with all Windows computers.
If you have difficulties, or just want to rave, write to
relax@MountainLake.com
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.
The CD will automatically start in some computers. If not,
just double click on the CD file named mountainlakeNov07.exe
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.
To switch the screensaver on (or off), minimize some of
your open windows and then right-click on a blank portion
of your main Windows desktop. A small menu will appear
next to where you right-clicked. It has a choice at the
bottom called "Properties" that you need to left-click.
A "Display Properties" window will appear with file
like tabs running across its top labeled
Background, Screen Saver, Appearance, ..., Settings.
Click on the Screen Saver tab. In the middle of its window
you'll see a narrow box labeled Screen Saver with your current
choice of Screen Saver written in the box. It might say "none".
Click on this box (or its down arrow) and from the alphabetic
list, select the one called MountainLake1204 or a later release.
(Later, you should consider deleting our older versions called
"mountainlake1204", "MountainTiny", or "MountainLake" or
"MountainHuge", depending on which version you have installed.
If you still have our very first version, you'll see it listed as
"Grand County, Colorado".)
Just below the Settings and Preview buttons you can adjust how
long your computer is idle before your Screen Saver is activated.
(You may test the saver immediately by pressing the Preview button).
Move your mouse to turn off the screensaver.
