DOWNLOAD GOES TO ERROR PAGE:
If you have installed any special downloading programs, like Download Accelerator, you might not be able to access these files. If you are using one, please close it and download using your browser. To disable Download Accelerator, right click on the desktop accelerator icon and there is option to "Disable Browser Integration". For more detailed information on changing settings in these programs CLICK HERE!
CAN'T GET DOWNLOAD OR SEE IMAGES:
- Norton Internet Security 2004, Norton Personal Firewall, Norman AntiVirus, and Norman Personal Firewall can be disabled to download these screensavers. Norton and Norman can also prevent you from seeing all images on my pages and other websites. If this happens to you, please disable Norton Internet Security or Norman firewall while visiting my pages. Simply disable Norton Internet Security. Better still, uninstall it and replace by free Windows Firewall that never deforms web sites by removing totally innocent images. For permanent solution to the problem, CLICK HERE for detailed information on changing settings in these programs.
There are also 'options' adjustments in the settings on both of these programs so that all sites can be viewed. By default, Norton Internet Security blocks all ads and banners on all websites. This can be harmful because logos and other important info on websites, can be blocked if this setting is left 'on'. If this program came with your new pc, be sure to take the block off, so that webpages will not be left with huge blank spots.
XP SP2 update (August 2004) blocks pop ups by default. If you choose to see these, the default settings in Windows must be changed.
ZoneAlarm also blocks images if you have settings on "High". A 'quick fix' for this is to change back to Default settings for ZoneAlarm, which is "Medium". For more detailed information on changing settings in these programs CLICK HERE!
Large images can take some time to load, so please be patient. If no image appears in a minute or so and instead you get a broken image sign (small 'x' where the image should be), please let us know.
To fix the issue as soon as possible, please copy and paste the page URL from address line of your browser in to your email. We have thousands of images stored in our servers, so knowing exactly which image is causing a problem is important.
NO THUMBNAILS?
If you have problems viewing our thumbnail images, that is likely to be caused by Norton Internet Security, in which the default settings disables images on many perfectly safe sites by being overzealous. Simply disable Norton Internet Security, to make the thumbnails visible. Better still, uninstall it and replace by free Windows Firewall that never deforms web sites by removing totally innocent images.
POP UPS AND BANNER ADS:
All TLC sites has deleted all POP UP ads. Blocking all banner ads from sites offering 'Freeware', might seem like a great idea to you, but your favorite FREE sites will disappear forever, because ads were blocked. FREE SITES depend on advertising to pay for their content and hosting. If all advertising is BLOCKED, FREE SITES will have to start charging $$ for wallpapers and other downloads!
Please do not block my ads, if you want to continue to enjoy free screensavers and wallpapers from my sites. Thank you.
PASSWORDS: This site does NOT require a password to download screensavers! See details below "AOL AND MSN USERS". This might occur with any other customized browsers, like MSN users. Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers will download all files without any problems. I suggest you minimize your customized browsers and use Internet Explorer or Netscape. Downloading latest Windows Update will also eliminate the 'password error'.
ATTENTION AOL AND MSN USERS: Unfortunately AOL and MSN browser seems to give a password error to some visitors trying to download my files. Please minimize your AOL browser and open Internet Explorer. Copy and paste the page address from your AOL browser to Internet Explorer URL bar and you should be able to download the files normally from the page showing in Internet Explorer. Downloading latest Windows Update will also eliminate the 'password error'.
DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS: Make note of the screensaver name and where you are downloading the file before hitting 'save'. Once downloaded unzip with this free program or use Windows XP, and click onto the filename to install. - Any broken links, please contact webmaster. For more detailed instructions on downloading any screensaver on any site, Click Here. For more detailed instructions if experiencing problems downloading from my sites CLICK HERE!
UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: You can remove some screensavers from Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs. Others, that are not in Add/Remove can be deleted from windows\system in Win9x and ME, and windows\system32 in XP.
SCREENSAVERS AND DISPLAY SETTINGS/SOUND: These screensavers are only for WINDOWS PC and most of them are optimized for 800 x 600 screen resolution (newer savers fit any screen size), and 1024 x 768. If you do not hear the music (after downloading saver), check that 'Windows media player' is your default player. To mute the sound: right click on your desktop, then on properties>screensaver>settings>mute sound. If you have Windows 2000, you might have to disable 'active desktop' in display properties for some savers to work properly. Some screensavers 'will not play' in XP home edition...."IF you preview them first". Just set saver to run and it will come on as normal. Previewing saver will put an icon on task bar and prevent saver from running (delete the icon).
POP UP ADS AND FREEZE BANNERS' CONTENT: There are many screensavers in advertisements appearing on this site. Advertising banners are not part of the site content.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD FREEZE SCREENSAVERS WITHOUT CREATING PROBLEMS: Most ads and popups are screensavers advertised by Freeze.com. Please contact customersupport@teamfreeze.com, if problems exist, concerning these downloads.
You must fill out the first page with your name, etc., and all windows after that need not be filled out. If you just close them, the download window will pop up.
When downloading Freeze savers, uncheck all boxes pertaining to other program downloads besides the saver. Especially the first window. This box left checked will change your homepage so definitely uncheck that one! The last box to accept their terms must be checked to get the Freeze saver downloaded, BUT NO Other Box needs checked.
These advertisements support the hosting fees and without them, my screensavers would not be 'FREE'.
None of the programs that are download from advertisement banners and pop ups are made by ART-TLC.
ABOUT ADWARE AND SPYWARE PROGRAMS: The screensavers that are made by ART-TLC and are the content of this site, DO NOT contain spyware or any other programs, but only the saver you are downloading. All have been checked by antivirus programs and are clean downloads.
No programs will be loaded on to your pc while visiting this site without your knowledge!
You may choose to accept some adware programs from our sponsors (Freeze or other companies in Google ads) by not removing checks in boxes included in their download. While downloading our sponsor's (Freeze) programs, uncheck the box to change 'home page', and uncheck all boxes pertaining to programs you do not wish to download. You will still be able to download the sponsor's saver, with all boxes unchecked except the "I agree" box, which is the last box asked for and required to get the saver and no adware will be loaded on to your pc.

5/5/04- I have recently found some of my screensavers have been stolen from my sites and put on DESKTOPCITY.COM. These savers have been wrapped in a download bundle with Spyware and Viruses (even though they say differently on their site)! I have no affiliations with these thieves!
SOME DOWNLOADER PROGRAMS ARE SPYWARE or ADWARE: Details on how to download if you have these program are above. For your information, some Downloader Programs are considered a spyware/adware programs by Pest Patrol, because some:
1) changes browser settings other than homepage, without user permission.
2) displays popup/popunder ads that cannot be closed by clicking a 'close' (X) button in the upper right of the frame.
3) silently connects to an unintended site (with or without redirecting the address request) during a browser session, to transmit usage or other information to that site.
4) silently connects to the Internet after reboot and without user awareness or consent in that session.
5) silently tracks sites visited along with identification of the user/machine by GUID, IP address, email address, name, SSN#, phone number, credit card info, or other identifier.
6) stays resident in background after exiting browser.
I would suspect that any downloader program has similar properties. For more detailed information on changing settings in these programs CLICK HERE!
XP HOME EDITION USERS: Some screensavers will not play in XP home edition....IF you preview them first. Just set saver to run and it will come on as normal. Previewing saver will put an icon on task bar and prevent saver from running. Delete the icon.
