Maybe a firewall? Try to use RPC Miners first. Then just use working settings for Screensaver RPC Miners.
Uhm, I didn't see a setting for aggression.
Ok, I've joined a pool, I put in the user name and password, and the URL. But when I run the screen saver I see lots of little coins, but the info in the corner looks like it is doing absolutely nothing. Why?

URL - one of mining pools or your own (http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332/, http://bitpenny.dyndns.biz:8332/, http://127.0.0.1/)
User Name - it is your pool account or rpcuser in your bitcoin.conf file (if you do not use any pool)
Password - your pool password or rpcpassword in your bitcoin.conf file (if you do not use any pool)
Aggression - you may try to play with it from 1 to 32 (if you use GPU for mining)
You may left blank all other fields.

I don't understand what to put into any of the blank spaces for these screen savers.
What do I put into these fields? If I leave them empty, is it going to see my bitcoin app, and send bitcoins it manages to generate to my virtual wallet?
URL ?
User Name ?
Password ?
Status URL ?
Threads (CPU) ?
What if I only want it to use very few threads, so as not to overload my poor old computer? How many threads does it absolutely need to work?

puddin, is this okay to use on 64-bit systems? I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and am unable to view any settings when clicking on the Settings button.
Did you put the screensaver and related files in the SysWOW64 directory? If you put it in the system32 directory, that might be why you cannot see the settings. system32 is only for 64 bit files on 64 bit Windows, but the screensaver is a 32 bit application.
It works fine on 64-bit systems. You may try to use this reg-file:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bitcoin Screensaver]
"workrefreshms"=dword:000001f4
"url"="http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332/"
"username"="login.suffix"
"password"="password"
"statsurl"="http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/json/"
"aggression"=dword:0000000a
"threadscpu"=dword:00000001

I simply cannot understand how this has not attracted more attention. What a wonderful set up for a computer to be used while idle. This makes me think more of projects like the @home screen savers for grid work. Bravo.
Well done. Can you do that CUDA/OpenCL miners will use all available video cards in several threads?
Here are RPC miners that work as Windows screensavers. They have all the functionality of the RPC Miners. Place the files in your Windows system32 directory if running a 32 bit OS, or SysWOW64 directory if running a 64 bit OS, and configure in the standard Windows screensaver dialog. You can use the console RPC miners to determine the best settings for your computer, and then configure the screensaver with those settings.
