- Copy the .scr file to your \Windows\System\ directory and use its right click
- menu or the Control Panel to configure. To install, reverse the process.

-
- BACKGROUND-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Screen savers stop phosphor burn in on your monitor. This is when a residual
- image of your display can be seen if the same image is on screen for long
- periods of time. This effect/problem can be seen at train stations.
-
- OPTIONS----------------------------------------------------------------------
- You can vary the severity of the wobble, from a slight judder to a near
- earthquake shake. You can also Unwobble the screen every so often, which
- starts the whole process again. Also invert the screen colours if you want,
- in a number of different ways. Configuration now supports context sensitive
- help and desktop preview.
-
- SPECIFICATIONS---------------------------------------------------------------
- Wobble! achieves nearly a thousand wobbles every second.* However, this
- speed varies when screen size or colour resolution, or indeed the speed and
- type of the host computer are taken into account.
- * Tested on a 8MB 486 DX50, with Cirrus Logic 5428 in 640x480x256 resolution.
