Troubleshooting Tips for Macintosh Computers
- The Northwestern Screen Savers will probably not work correctly
if you have other screen saver programs active, such as Setting
Sun or After Dark. Other screen savers must be disabled for Northwestern
Screen Savers to function correctly.
- Only one of the Northwestern screen savers should be in the
Control Panels folder at a time. If more than one are present,
the first one installed will be used.
