The ballet.co Screensaver

What professional site would be complete without a screensaver! Courtesy of Louis we bring you the ballet.co screensaver and it's absolutely free.

You need to be running Windows 95 and we can deliver it in 2 ways depending on whether you have the capability to handle zip files (or not). Zip files are smaller and hence load much faster, but you need special software to decode them. If you are not sure, best to use the larger exe file.

Once it's on your machine, double click on install.exe (it will tell you the screensaver is installed), then go into the control panel, double click on display and follow your nose to the screensaver section where you should find our ballet one listed. Here are the links to get the screensaver:

      ballet.co screensaver as a zip file (1132Kb)
      ballet.co screensaver as a exe file (2293kb)

These are not small files and might take more than a few minutes to load. The screensaver has been produced using professional software and as such should work on all (Windows95) machines. We can't however offer guarantees (though we would be gob-smacked if there are any probs). Enjoy!
