Windows Logo screensaver

On my new laptop (running Vista Home Premium) I notice that the Windows
Logo screensaver behaves in the "normal" way when running from the mains
(i.e. the Vista logo fades in, fades out, the "tick" fades in and then
fades out, the whole then repeats). But when running on battery the
windows logo appears instantly (without the fading effects and without
the "tick") the logo then jumps around the screen. I much prefer this
latter display and wonder if it is possible to have this display on both
mains and battery operation.

It would also be nice to have this on my main desktop machine running Vista
Ultimate.

Any ideas?

Hi Walter,

The change probably occurs because the screen is in a conserve power mode
when on battery. This limits the actions of the screensaver to conserve
power by redrawing the screen fewer times. I don't know that you can effect
this change in full power mode, it's a function of a combination of the
display adapter, power mode, and moniter driver files.
