Hi,

Reason it doesn't work well:
When renaiming a n EXE to SCR, it will play in Windows as a  screensaver. 
However, when the screensaver is launched, it may be
executed multiple times (as many as your memory can store).

There are a number of programs that convert Director projectors to 
screensavers. AnySaver is free for Windows
http://www.dgolds.com/
This program activate the exe file rather than converting the projector itself. 
Other screensaver utilities can be found here:
