screen saver shut down

The screen saver (way cool) seems to only run like 10 minutes and then goes to a black screen. Is this normal on win XP? I installed it to the Win 32 folder as recommended.

I've never seen it happen. Did you actually run the executable or wait for it to kick in automatically?

I right clicked on the exe and hit "install" - it works, it just stop after 10 minutes or so

Edit - I reset the time that passes for the screen saver to kick in from 10 minutes down to 1 minute, and for whatever reason, it seems to be working. I will try some other time durations and see what happens

You might want to check to see if your monitor is set to automatically enter power saver mode after a period of inactivity.

This option should be under "Power Options" on Windows XP, Vista, or 7.

Yeah my screen is set to power saving mode after 10 mins. too and I also run XP. So that's probably what's happening.
