wat does this mean and wat can i do? please help

that means your downloaded file is corrupted. just redownload again.

It works just fine.. I’ve converted my XP into Vista UI using Vista Transformation pack six and this almost completes the look (could not get a good glass aero taskbar yet), I extracted the file to my docs and right clicked install(Bubble is also my favorite) and it works just fine

I have already extracted the files to system32 but when I go to screensavers under display settings, they dont seem to be there. The screensavers dont show on the menu drop down list.

i want the bubble screensaver but have no idea where to find it or how to download it..

After downloading the file (packed in .rar) DONT DIRECTLY EXTRACT TO C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. it will automatically make 4 new directory in \SYSTEM32. Just extract to (for example) D: drive. then find the .SCR files in these directory: D:\BUBBLES D:\MYSTIFY D:\AURORA D:\RIBBONS and copy the .scr files ONE BY ONE to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

Thnx……

i downloaded it and i unziped it and now what?? what should i do?

I have it in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 but it says “unspecified error encountered”

hi jason

you are right it works on my dads computer!!! now how can i fix that problem???

I didn’t understand !!! i really don’t know lot about computer program and that shit but i know about website design!!

I tried to config it and when i do that it says this file has no options to conf and on my computer it say unspecified error encountered

BUt.. I have download it, to my pc…
at last i try the instruction….
the bubbles show, but the background still black… what should i do ?

how do I get the bubbles to appear translucent? I have it downloaded and it is in my drop down list under screensavers already… thanks

I download the sceensaver, exacted to C:\windows\system32
restarted the computer, but it wont appear on the sceensaver, and I don’t know why? Please help.

1st of all, thank you to all of you who put time into helping others out, I really wanted the bubbles and I have xp. My advice to those of you out there:

1. Download Winrar (free- just find it) http://www.rarlab.com if you do not already have it.

2. Download the NON-USA version of the screensavers from Softpedia at the top of this page.

3. Highlight the files (in Winrar) and click the extract button and extract to D: drive.

4. Open your D: through My Computer (might have to right click and open)

5. Find the non-info files (the little computer files not the little notepad files) in each different (4) screensaver file and copy then paste into: C:/Windows/system32

6. Right click on desktop and everything should be there (it is for me!) to set up in screensavers.

I’m proof this works! )

If you feel like it, let me know if I was able to explain this so it was easy and worked for you.

Thank you )

thanks for screensavers…i like it!!!

Follow these simple steps:
Goto RUN and type regedit and press OK
Goto Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Screensavers\Bubbles

Then add the below DWORDS into the global list:
ie; right click and select add DWORD, then name it SpanMultiMon then give it a value of: 0 or 1 =(0=off 1=on)
——————————————————-
- SpanMultiMon [DWORD] 0/1
Enables/disables multiple monitor spanning support.

Enable this to have one set of bubbles travel across
screens. Disable this to have bubbles on each (and possibly
different configurations)

- SphereDensity [DWORD] int
Self explainatory

- Radius [DWORD] int
Self explainatory

- TurbulenceNumOctaves [DWORD] int
Self explainatory

- TurbulenceSpeed [DWORD] int
Self explainatory

- TurbulenceForce [DWORD] int
Self explainatory

- ShowBubbles [DWORD] 0/1
Enable/Disable showing of background for bubbles

- MaterialGlass [DWORD] 0/1
Enable/Disable translucent bubble effects

- ShowShadows [DWORD] 0/1
Self explainatory

- AllScreensSame [DWORD] 0/1
Enable/Disable the sharing of bubbles configuration across
screens (use global settings).

NOTE: To specify settings for different screens,
create a key (e.g. “SCREEN 1″) and put your settings (above)
in this folder. Global settings are put directly in the
parent key.

Thanks, followed all the instructions and it worked perfectly for me!

hey guys, it doesn’t work on my dads computer (xp sp2) but it works on my laptop – also xp sp2…

I am the nerdy one in my family but i am confused – it has unspecified error encountered – just like a.h

no fair!
the joejoe link has a “http 404 not found”
the softpedia link has a damaged archive
when i opened the unrared folder, mystify, ribbons and aurora were there
bubbles was just not there!

i very very happy thanks for this bautiful sceensaver

i copied and pasted bubbles.scr onto systems32. I see in drop box but it seems like i can’t change any of settings?? like the bubble size? can i cahnge it somehow?

Hi Guys:

I followed instruction, can anyone pl. help for me to install this. I have IBM thinkpad with XP.

I have tried with both the versions.

Some people are plain silly or they shouldn’t really own computers. This is perhaps the greatest hack for screensavers and yet the smucks do not know how to apply simple files.

When you extract the files to Windows/system32, in RAR, it actually saves it as a folder and not a file. Look in Windows/system32 and you will find all the folders as they have been copied and named.

If you have any problems, save them to your desktop. You will see instantly that it is a folder and not a file. The screen saver file must be placed directly into the sytem32 folder of Windows or it will not work.

If anyone here tells you to edit the registry, then they do not know what they are talking about. For gods sake, it is a screensaver file, not a direct command to the CIA.

Cheers.

Hi, I installed everything and it works. When I try the screen saver the background is black, I already tried restarting it, how can I not make it black? I want my own background!

Help Please, Thx

The screen saver works fine but when it goes on the background goes black. How can I change that so it would be my background?

Thx.

Ok, so I managed to get the screensavers but the Bubble on shows on a black or white screen. I know other people have had these problems as well and I have not seen a solution to it. Can anyone help? Thanks a bunch

Thank u s much…
it’s working nicely….

I’m sure flowbubbles screensaver is not a virus.

Thanks for help. Bubble are the best!

What I did to fix the Bubbles Screensaver not showing the desktop was to make sure the color quality is set to 32-bit instead of 16-bit.

Right click anywhere on the desktop that is not an icon or folder.
Select Properties.
Click the Settings Tab.
Make sure the color quality is set to Highest (32-bit).

I did created teh DWORDS as read me file says and gave them 0 as the value. in the “Base” segment Hexadecimal is checked. And still I see the black bacground and no setting options for this screensaver. My color quality is set to 32-bit.

Any solution?

thanks for the screen saver bro

works very nicely

Download this screen saver from here:

Thxs so much!!!! i’ve been looking 4 the bubbles screensaver everywhere!! its so awesome!!

thanks for bubbels screensaver for xp I M VERY HAPPY

thanks for bubbels screensaver for xp I M VERY HAPPY

thanks for bubbels screensaver for xp I M VERY HAPPY

many thanks

COME ON!!!
Full instructions for Windows XP:
Download the .rar file

Extract it using 7Zip, PowerArchiver, or WinRar.

Go to the Screensavers5308.17 folder and click on Bubbles

Copy bubbles.scr to C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT, whichever exists.

It will now appear in the Screensaver tab in Display Properties. To get to Display Properties, right-click the desktop and click Properties.

That’s what I did, at least. I’m running SP3.

If, for some reason, it appears against a black background, go to the Start menu, click Run, type regedit, and press Enter.
In the left panel, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers\Bubbles\. Go to the Edit menu, mouse over New, and click DWORD Value.
Name it ShowBubbles. After naming it, double-click it. Change the value to 1.

I dont understand how to use the screensaver..!!!!!!!

I downloaded all 4 of the Vista screensavers, Mystic,Aurora,Bubbles,Ribbons. I was able to do the registry hack for Aurora and Ribbons, but for some reason, no matter what I did, I was unable to change the size and quantity of the bubbles. Either the size was very small and I only had one bubble (glass with shadow) or the size was huge taking up the entire screen with only 1 bubble. I tried varying integers but nothing changed until up to a point, then it changed immediately from barely seen to taking up the whole screen. I finally just deleted the registry Key for the Bubbles and it worked, but the bubbles do not have room on the screen to move around. I have 12 bubbles on the screen all touching and trying to move, but having nowhere to go on a 14 inch laptop screen and I can’t seem to do any registry hack to control bubble number or bubble size. Any ideas? Thank you.

hey, i am not getting this vista bubble screensaver to download some body help me please…

I had so many proplems trying to get this to work. I finally ended up getting a different on at the following address:

http://www.pblsoft.com/flowBubbles/

This one is better anyway. If you want, you can put your own pictures in. You can also (very easily) change number of bubbles and their size.

Hope that helps

Hola para los que tienen el problema de “UNSPECIFIED ERROR ENCOUNTERED” esta es una posible SOLUCION;
Ejecutar el diagnosticador de DIRECTX (DXDIAG)
y revisar eso:

DirecDraw – Habilitado
Direct3D – Habilitado
Textura – Habilitado

si alguna de estas opciones esta en “Deshabilitado” puede dar el error antes mencionado.
Espero les sea util el dato

Hello for those who have the problem of “unspecified error encountered” this is one possible solution;
Run the DirectX Diagnostic (DXDIAG)
and revise that:

DirecDraw – Enabled
Direct3D – Enabled
Texture – Enabled

whether any of these options is in “Disabled” can give the error mentioned above.
I hope they are useful data

Note: sorry if the translation is any error, I do not speak English and did it with a translator

Ran the bubbles.scr on different computers. Those with video memory 256m show the background, those with 64m show black background. So we can conclude that video card memory make the difference. I did not even touch the register.

Thank you allll sooooo much for the help, I now have the bubbles with pictures inside bouncing around on my desktop. What fun!

Mine works fine until about 20 minutes, it goes from nice flowing bubbles to rapid fire with the bubbles flying around like flies caught in a glass box…

This is the fastest way to run bubble screen saver, when you download the installer in softpedia, extract it, double click the bubble folder and right click the bubble icon, you can see the install and then click it!
after that you can see it in screensaver menu!

Thanks for the download link.
Good instructions.
NO PROBLEMS if the the instructions are followed.

Thanks!

Black Background! Im Running 256MB VideoCard…

Hi Guys,

Download link from the website and extract to a desktop and search for *.SCR files and paste those *.SCR files to c:\windows\system32

Right click on your desktop goto screen saver settings there u can find the *.SCR files (Bubbles). No Need to edit ur registry.

Thanks

it’s really nice these bubble!!

Works beautifully!! Thanks! Love it!!

It might be easier for some if you extract the files to desktop, and then right click on the icon and copy the file. Open c:\windows\system32 and just paste. Once you go to your screensavers, it’ll be there.

I followed Jason’s instructions and did not have any issues I know am the proud viewer of the Bubble screensaver I have one question in the top left corner of my screen when the screensaver is running, it says FPS [blinking #'s are here]/[blinking #'s are here too]-[40] I would like to know what this is?

Alright Enough Complaining people. If this screensaver is not working for you, the easiest solution is to get the “FlowBubbles” screensaver from Download.com: http://download.cnet.com/FlowBubbles-screensaver/3000-2257_4-10717653.html?part=dl-6295832&subj=dl&tag=button

I personally could not get the black background to go away and this is PROBABLY because I don’t have enough memory. FlowBubbles worked perfectly on my computer and is actually much better than the plain vista bubbles screensaver. You can add pictures to the bubbles and edit all options. There are also heart shaped bubbles & it easily installs!

So GO & Check it Out and Stop Complaining!

Great ! Thanks u so muck .

thank you so much!
