Words Troubleshooting ReportI need to rid my computer of this screensaver. - Version: 2.0, 2/5/2006 05:40PM PST

How do I uninstall it????

It is causing my computer to freeze using the Devils Dictionary. The odd thing is that it is the only sample file that is in RTF.

The only thing I can do is turn off the system and turn off the Screensaver, but I want to remove it ALL.

I've really enjoyed using this screensaver this week. I've spent way too much time finding fun things to put on there :) I've had no crashing problems (I use 10.3 on a G4) or font problems.

Here are some good places to get word lists:

I had lost this one, I'm glad to have it back. It's fun for me to be able to have an ambient experience of the vast number of lines of poetry i've written with this. excellent, i'm glad the last guy who commented was wrong about it not working. (for me at least)

made my list of custom quotes to randomize through, but just a couple suggestions. I agree that fade in/out would be great, and the other thing that would be cool is erasing text in the order which it came (ie: 1 comes in, 2 comes in, 3 comes in, 1 goes out, 4 comes in, 2 goes out, 5 comes in, etc), rather than just wiping the screen like a chalkboard.

like it to include: grouping of fonts (i.e., only get fonts out of ~/Library/Fonts, for instance); opacity & fade in/out, etc.

I've got it installed on a white iMac/osX 10.0 (Garamond on white). IMO, it looks very good; & I'm very glad this is out...
