I am trying to set one of my turing executables as my screensaver... but I don't know how to/if it is possible.
I have tried searching for where Windows keeps its screensavers, but they don't name the files after what they are and I'm not sure if they have to be in text/binary/etc.
If anyone knows how, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks =P

The executable I want to use can be found on mediafire/4shared

You cannot make a true screensaver in turing (why would you want to, it's slow and would BURN your cpu into the ground, that's really bad!). However, a screensaver is just an exe renamed to scr then dumped in the sys32 folder iirc. So dump it there and you should be able to set it if you really want to :\

As Euphoracle said, using Turing as a screensaver will KILL your cpu and will slow down your computer. You really shouldn't try this and just download custom screensavers from Google. And, I believe you would always need turing to run the screensaver, therefore rendering it useless if Turing was uninstalled.
