Should you decide to get Amusing Lions Screensaver, here are the bits you’re going to like
- Getting the screensaver off the web and onto your computer will only take a moment since the download weighs in at 4.4MB. Even on a less than spectacular internet connection, a 4.4MB download will complete in no time at all.
- Installing the screensaver on your Windows-powered computer will only take a moment as well. At the time of writing this and according to the developer, the screensaver works with Windows 9x, NT, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
- You can use the screensaver for as long as you want and not part with your hard earned money.
- You can play with a few settings, such as: you can specify for how long an image will be displayed (the default is of 3 seconds), you can select which transition effect you want the screensaver to use and how fast the transition effect moves, you can choose if you want the screensaver to “cycle through all effects,” and you can even use on of the screensaver’s images as your wallpaper by selecting the “Put wallpaper on desktop” option.

Here are the things you are not going to like about Sparkling Waves:
- It comes bundled with AutoComplete Pro, so pay attention during the installation process. Don’t just click “Next” over and over again as you will also install AutoComplete Pro. Make sure to opt out if you don’t want AutoComplete Pro. Here’s another interesting thing I noticed: if you click Cancel once the setup wizard shows up, that’s before you can choose to opt out of installing AutoComplete Pro, so if you click Cancel, AutoComplete Pro will be installed nonetheless. The morale here is that if you started to install the screensaver, finish installing it, don’t cancel the process.
- Once the installation process is over, your browser will launch and you will be directed to the 7art-screensavers.com site. The same will happen when you uninstall the screensaver.
