Matthew P. Plassman Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 While many others seem to be having the more serious issue of not being able to install or startup the new CB, I, as always, have a much more trivial issue. I can't find the screen saver. I looked in the screen saver drop down menu in Settings, and I don't see it. I tried to search for it in the Program Files or in the settings in CB, but no luck. Maybe the fact that I still had the old cover gallery installed at the time led to some confusion in my elderly computer's fuzzy processors. Whatever the cause, I'm sure the answer lies in one of the two usual places: I'm overlooking something obvious or I need to reinstall. This is by no means a rush to solve, given the holiday and the other issues people are having. My palm, though, is primed for my face when the answer comes. Thanks in advance!

Peter R. Bickford Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi Matthew, It's for Archive Editions only (so if you have Pro, Express, or Free, it's not there) -- if you do have Archive Edition, go to your Windows menu and type "Screen saver". "Change Screen Saver" will come up as an option; choose it. Then, choose the "ComicBase Cover Gallery" screen saver and you're off to the races. -Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew P. Plassman Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks, Pete. I do have the Archive Edition. Unfortunately, the cover gallery is not in that drop down menu for me. I guess I'll try reinstalling. Probably some stupid goof with still having had the old cover gallery installed at the time. I'll post an update after I've had the chance to retry it.

Peter R. Bickford Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Try deleting the old one first--it's likely blocking the new install, since they had the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew P. Plassman Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Well, I uninstalled everything CB-related, restarted my computer, and reinstalled. No luck. That's all right! The database works, which is the main thing, and Windows Photo screen saver scrolls through the covers just fine. Considering this is me and technology, that's basically a win!
