HOW TO DOWNLOAD YOUR SCREENSAVER:

PC Screensaver: (3.5Mb)
Windows 98, Windows NT & Windows 2000

Click on the link above and select where you want to save the file on your hard drive
Once it has successfully downloaded, double click the file called 'vptt_ss_win_f.zip' to automatically load it into your file extraction application (e.g. Winzip).

Once you have extracted the file, double-click the file 'SaverInstaller.exe' and the screensaver will automatically install itself.

For best results you will need to run a resolution of 800x600 pixels minimum and set your colour depth to at least 16Bit / High Colour (however we recommend running higher settings of 24 bit or 32 bit / True Colour for the best experience). Please also note that because this is an interactive screensaver - it will not disable on mouse movements. You can quit the screensaver at any time by hitting Quit or using the ESC (escape) and save the file to your hard-drive.
Double-click on the downloaded file, and it will extract itself automatically.

Restart your machine, and your screensaver can now be accessed through the BBC Four-Place to Think control panel, under the Apple Menu.

You will need to run a resolution of 800x600 pixels minimum and set your colour depth to at least thousands of colours (however we recommend running millions of colours for the best experience). Please also note that because this is an interactive screensaver - it will not disable on mouse movements. You can quit the screensaver at any time by hitting Quit or using the ESC (escape) key.
