G-Force as Default "LogOn" Screensaver Under Vista

Post by Spirit Wolfe »

I had changed (manually) the .DEFAULT settings in the registry 'to point to' the G-Force screensaver as the LogOn Screensaver. (I *have* v391 Platinum.) When I restarted Windows Vistax64 (Home Premium) All it showed was the "black screen"! I moved my mouse and the main logon window appeared and the default idle time was correctly set as I had set it...but G-Force could not load and display its beautiful glory!!! :?
:!: Am *I* doing something wrong!? :!: :cry:
Or, is it a possibility that having G-Force being an x32 program running under an x64 system; certain drivers that are *NOT* loaded *before* actually logging onto the system are not loaded to run an x32 screensaver at the initial logon screen? Whew! :wink:

PS: If the answer is the latter...will this be fixed soon? I miss G-Force as my initial logon screensaver. :(

Well I tried other to replace the default logon screen saver with others and it keeps directing me to install the directx 9 3d driver before this screensaver could run (not verbatim words from the error message; but close! :) )
