The screen saver screen colors are really messed up (like this)

You are not running in a high or true color mode (32000 colors+). You can change this by:




1. Right mouse button click on an open area on your desktop and select "Properties"
2. Click on the "Settings" tab
3. Change your "Colors" field to high or true color and press "OK"

My "Colors" field does not have a high or true color option

You're probably out of luck. Chances are your computer has an old or "bargin bin" graphics card. There are two things you can do:
• Make certain that you're running the correct/lastest drivers for your graphics card.
• If your graphics card supports 256 colors, email me at bonfire@cyberbrinedreams and request that I make a 256 color version. If there is enough demand I'll try to make one.

How do I change the screen saver to the bonfire one?




1. Right mouse button click on an open area on your desktop and select "Properties"
2. Click on the "Screen Saver" tab
3. Scroll through the "Screen Saver" field until you find "Bonfire99" and press "OK"

The colors on the preview screen look funny under Windows 2000

Windows 2000 seems to have trouble rendering high or true color controls like icons. I'm researching this issue.

How do I make a diskette version from the download version?

1. Put a diskette in the diskette drive and format it.
2. Double click on the archive
3. Change the "Extract to" field to A: (or whatever your diskette drive letter is) and press "Ok"
4. When it asks if you want to copy the screen saver press "No"
5. Ignore the error message about the installation being cancelled
