With no parameters, the screensaver opens a configuration dialog. To run a screensaver, use the following syntax:

[filename.scr] /S

I still have a problem debuggin it from visual studio 6.

it require an exe file, not scr.
when it run like exe, the window of the screen saver isnt created.

how can I debug it normally?

thanks.

You can change the filename of the output file generated by the compiler.

In your project setting (Project -> Setting), go to Link tab. Select "General" as the Category and then on the Output file name change the extension to .scr.

Rebuild the project. After this debug it in the IDE.

Hope it will help you
