Prius Wallpaper or Screensavers

  1. ****As of Dec 26th, 7PM EST, the server is down where these files are stored. Sorry for any inconvenience. Keep checking back and they should be available in a day or so.****
    :idea: How 'bout some postings of images that will work well as Prius wallpaper or screensavers? I will attempt a link to a genuinely cool 3D Prius screensaver that was made available only to Toyota dealerships via a training CD. I hope this works for you! Oh, it's a rather long download (if on dialup) but well worth the try. Best wishes!!

    Sorry, but I'm a rookie at this. This may or may not work.

    OK, if nothing else, copy and paste this link for a very nice image that makes a nice background/computer wallpaper. And, I still hope the screensaver link will work for you as well. (This is a large file.) Hope you like it!

    Attached is a mini-version of the huge (1600x1200, I believe) file that Middle_Age_Moment has posted for us.

    This might be asking a lot, but is there any chance you could do something for us Mac folks?

    Thanks,

    Middle-age-mo, that screensaver was amazing. I'm running it and love it.

    Thanks

  7. Very happy to hear the Screensaver is working for you. I wasn't sure how to upload the 3D Screensaver but it must have worked! Thanks for your reply.
     
  8. Screensaver for Mac Users??? Maybe...

    OK, here I go again. I hope this will work for MAC users. I know nothing about MACs but found 2 MAC versions of the 3D screen saver (it IS cool) on the Toyota CD-Rom.
    First download the file. There are two versions and I don't know the difference. One file name is Prius.sit and the other is Prius_OSX.sit.

    or try this other link if you desire the OSX file.

    Again, I REALLY hope these work for you MAC users because this 3D "flying & rotating Prius" screensaver is just too cool. Again, it was made available to Toyota dealers in a special training packet they received. Somebody PLEASE let me know if this works for you. Here are the instructions off the CD:
    1. After downloading, find the file and double click to decompress.
    2. You may need to install Stuff It expander to unstuff the file. Visit http://www.aladdinsys.com if needed.
    3. Open your system file.
    4.Then, open the control panel file.
    5. Move the screensaver file into your Control Panel folder. You can click and drag the file to do this.
    6. Restart the computer to activate the screen saver.
    7. Go to the control panel folder on your hard drive then double click the screen saver to check that it's working.
    GOOD LUCK. HOPE IT WORKS!! :D
    I'm hopeful Danny will move this to the file library again. Thanks to all!

    I moved the links to the File Library and replaced the links in your post with a link to the File Library.

    Thanks for the work, Dan.
