If you use a different operating system, go back to the Ferret Screen Saver introductory page and select your own operating system in order to get directions that will help you. These directions should be all you need if you're a reasonably experienced computer user. If you need further assistance, ask a computer-literate friend to help you as you follow the steps listed below. 1. Prepare your ferret pictures. Create a folder or directory for the ferret pictures you want your screen saver to use, and put all of your ferret images in that folder.
Most screen saver software programs can handle images in .bmp, .gif, and .jpg file formats.
If you don't have any scanned photos of your own to use, you can use the demo photos which come with most software programs until you get organized. You can even use ferret photos you've downloaded from the Internet, but please make sure that you are not violating anybody's copyright. Download the software you need. There are lots of shareware screensavers available that will let you use your own photos. Here are some of the customizable screensavers I know about.
