hi there! new here. great forum. allready found a lot of answers to many questions about my 3650.
Didn't find an answer to the following.
When i set my screensaver to animate and let it preview a gif it works fine, i exit the program and wait for the screensaver to come on. the gif plays once and the ssaver is exited... 😮 weird... anyone???
thanx

You can't use a gif whose animation will loop infinitely as a screensaver without third party software.

I have to warn you that having a gif screensaver is a BIG battery waster.You can try SmartProfiles from www.symbianware.com , Screen Saver from www.psiloc.com and Extended Profiles also from www.psiloc.com

thanx for the reply..
forgot to mention of course I am using screensaver ans ext.profiles from psiloc.
screensaverprog gives this problem

No problem eppo.Like i said,i've tried the feature only once,i was using SmartProfiles from SymbianWare(I think),and it worked.

Maybe you should contact the developers of the app you are using,in your case,PsiLOC.
