Can I configure my XP screen saver so it displays this website?

Save the above as an html document. Then try to apply it as a screen saver.

[This program](http://www.wekasoft.com/sfs/) will convert a flash (SWF) file to a Win32 Screen Saver file (SRC).

Even if it’s possible, it would have to be done in a way to keep the more static parts of that page from burning in.

I don’t think burn is a problem with laptop screens, but I will definitely re-ckeck my info on that subject.

Thanks for the replies, I will give it a try.
