National Geographics Screen Savers

[dcypher6425]

Has any successfully installed a Nat Geo screen saver?

My computer has OS X, 2.16ghz intel.
When I try to select the screen saver I get this message
"You cannot use the ScreenTime Screen Saver Engine 3.5.6 screen saver on this computer. Contact the developer of this screen saver for a newer version"

Any thoughts or tips?
Thanks,
the new guy.

Assuming you are running Mac OS 10.6...
The screensaver was made for Pre Snow Leopard. After snow leopard came out, screensavers were required to run in 64 bit mode, and because the National Geo saver is a 32 bit mode screensaver, Snow Leopard will not run them.
I had lots of nice screensavers, unfortunately, most of them won't run anymore.
The only thing you can do is hope the maker will release them for the new requirements.

Just a bump to this thread. I am running Leopard and it installed and worked fine for one day. Today I got this error about Quickdraw from the crash log. I have since taken it off my Aluminum iMac. On awakening, the screen had a checkerboard pattern and it required a hard restart.
