I have found a way to use the Reef demo as screensaver for us G400 users.
1. VideoSaver from realtimesoft.com
2. Reef avi demo from Matrox
3. Set VideoSaver to desktop mode
4. here you go
Works for other non-Matrox multimon solution as well.P4 Northwood 1.8GHz@2.7GHz 1.65V Albatron PX845PEV Pro
Running two Dell 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD
And of course, Matrox Parhelia | My Matrox histroy: Mill-I, Mill-II, Mystique, G400, ParheliaComment

What "solution"
az,
What solution, there is no way to do this!
The app Ant posted to run ANY app as a screensaver flat doesn't work, full stop. Changing the exe extension to .scr won't work, for too many obvious reasons I won't go into.
Matrox need to code a nice pretty screensaver taht looks similar to the Reef Demo, but with random elements, not preset like the demo.
And since Matrox take slightly less then forever to do any coding work, I'm guessing we'll not see anything like this before the end of the Parhelia life-cycle.
It isn't a priority, that's for sure.
Still, Voodoo Lights looks really pretty on the Parhelia, much nicer then my old Gfart
PS, I love my Parhelia, I really do! I just wish Matrox would double their software team, compare and contrast with nvidia, whose driver team is pretty hot stuff!Life is a ride

I had wroten a program that allow to use any file as a screen saver (and I mean ANY), but never found a betatester (apart from Fanboy for a few days).
At the moment I use it at home to have an mpeg as screen saver.Sat on a pile of deads, I enjoy my oysters.Comment

Sorry about that...I got side tracked and I just have recently moved. Let me see what I can do with it today

Nix, I'll post a download location when I'll be sure everything is allright.Originally posted by az

At the moment I need to work onto the UI; when I'll have fixed a few points on it, I'll reopen the beta testing stage.
edit: uhmm...I've found right now the APIs I needed to fix the UI. Maybe this evening I'll code them into the program
