Hello,
My problem is, when I run the screensaver as the login screensaver (where you have to press ctrl-alt-delete to login) the program can't find the config file in the 'Aplication Data' directory because no user is logged in. It just loads the internal defaults in the config.dll file. I placed the ZMatrixScreenSaver.cfg in the default user's 'Aplication Data' directory and it works as long as someone has already logged into the computer and then logged out. It does not work when the computer is restarted and no one logs in. I was just wondering if there was a variable I could set in the ZMatrixSS.ini file that would let me point to a config file to load. Or if there was somewhere else I could put the ZMatrixScreenSaver.cfg file. Thanks for any help.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Well after messing around with it for the last few days (even going as far as trying to recompile the config.dll), I figured it out. It turns out it's a simple fix. You just have to copy the '.Zmatrix' folder from your profile's 'Application Data' directry to the 'c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data' directory. Hope this helps someone else out...
