I like it but hitting install brings up the screen saver option but I am unable to use it. It does not add the screensaver to the menu Please help

Cool screen saver!

The lines that fall on the matrix film have different speeds.
In this ScreenSaver the line speeds are exactly the same.
Apart from this flaw, ScreenSaver is good.

Matrix Screensaver Mac Os

I loved it, it's just beautiful and customizable.

It's pretty good

Ok this seems to work...;)

This Matrix screensaver is only 90k and runs efficiently. It has a good selection of settings. I copied the matrix.scr file to my C:WindowsSysWOW64 folder and it runs fine in Windows 10 64-bit. Multiple monitors are supported. This is a good choice.

Great screensaver. Tons of settings. Absolutely get this if you're looking for a Matrix screensaver.

This is an awesome screensaver. It's free, has support for multiple monitors and has a wide range of settings to change, including text color and font. I recommend this screensaver for those looking for a good matrix screensaver that has multi monitor support. Thumbs up from me!
