Made it myself. Started out with a starter-kit from MS which i modified (check out this article) http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/arc...31/909566.aspx and ive changed a lot more since then, e.g got the facebook API working with it to display status updates as well.

Mac OSX comes with a RSS reader screensaver too i think

All a windows screensaver is is a .exe with some special properties, which closes upon click events, and is fullscreen, modal and frameless. Pretty easy to whip one up in Visual Studio Express (on my server i use API calls to get it to show memory and network status when idle)

Once you cross over into the realm of coding I am at a complete loss. Thanks for the advice. I will check with one of my programmer friends and see if they can fix me up and I will also do a search to see if any exist already (someone may have made one similar to the Mac OSX one and released it for free!)

I agree with you Marketing Rob. I was equally as lost. :-(

I did a search and this is what I came up with. It looks like slim pickings for Vista users but I am going to commence testing some of them and will let you know.
