I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

• Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
• Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
• Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
• Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.

 

Nokia n95 8gb...Screensaver/Gif Problems

Hey all,

Just recently got a Nokia n95 8gb phone....which rocks!

But I am having problems with the screensaver/gif's.

The pre-installed screensaver/gif's work fine, but when I add a gif for a screensaver to my phone...it don't move or animate.

When I first put the new gif's on, they animated the wrong way up, at a 90 dregree angle..and also was the wrong size for the screen.

I then noticed that the pre-installed gif's were at a 90 degree angle saved files on the phone, so I just edited the gif's I wanted to put on to the 90 degree angle suited for the phone and changed the size to fit the screen.

When loaded by the phone on screensaver mode, they appeared the right way up this time...but did not move or animate.

Does the editing of size and angle change the properties of the gif...like animation?

And if so, how can I get them moving again?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Regards,

 

slow decoding of GIF images

Hello again, Adi,

Thank you for performing the troubleshooting steps. I have done research on this and animated GIF support is still fairly new and also somewhat demanding on phones.

You said this was tested on imgur.com, but are there any other websites you are able to load GIFs from and have them work fine? It may be issues with that one website and it is worth a shot to try out others if you do have the time.

Animated GIFs are fully supported, but they do require resources that some phones may not be able to handle while multi-tasking. I tried out a GIF, an animated one, on a DELL Venue Pro. It skipped occasionally and was a small GIF. It did not, however,
come to an empty page.

If you search
GIF on the suggestions page for Windows Phone 7, many results come up. I recommending adding your votes to the list, even to just improve GIF support.

Best regards,
