If you plan to run multi-monitor then for the best results a faster machine is a essential.
The animation is more intricate and detailed and the matrix-code is more fluid and dynamic, with many more changes. The screensaver will run on older and slower computers (e.g. If for example, you are encoding a movie, you certainly don't want the screensaver sucking time away from your encoder such that it ends up taking twice as long! The screensaver may yield to other programs on your computer. I have attempted to regulate it more effectively, but if your computer is too busy then the screensaver simply won't get enough time to run properly. If you have an intensive task running on your computer when the screensaver starts up then the animation can appear hesitant and juddery. Note that only the logo and matrix-code sequences appear on all the monitors. So go on, The Matrix really does have you this time. I have tested it on a few dual-display systems, but in theory it should work on any number of displays if you have enough CPU horsepower. The screensaver now supports multiple monitors. Move to the 'Screen Saver' tab then and select 'TheMatrix' from the screen saver list. Once installed you turn on the screensaver by using the Windows screen properties dialog (right-click on the Windows desktop and select 'Properties' or from the Display option in the Control Panel)
The matrix screensaver windows 7 install#
The installer comes as a single executable file that will install itself when clicked. Hopefully resolves code rendering issues reported by some people. The screensaver has been run on Win98, Win2k and WinXP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 - 10.
