If you use either a proxy server or a firewall, or have any problem with installation, please see the FAQs below
How do I configure the World Snooker Screensaver to work with my firewall(s)?
The World Snooker Screensaver operates in the same way as an internet browser, requesting images from an internet website on a regular basis. Your PC’s firewall(s) may, by default, require you to give explicit permission to applications to access the internet and hence, may be blocking screensaver updates. To correct this, configure your firewall to allow the application oxigen.exe to communicate with worldsnooker.oxigen.net
How do I configure the World Snooker Screensaver to work with my proxy server?
Some PCs in large organisations communicate with the internet via a proxy server.
When you install the screensaver you should check your proxy configuration in your browser as follows:
- Open Internet Explorer
- Select Tools:Internet Options:Connections:LAN Settings
- If the Proxy Server fields are filled in, make a note of the values
- Right click on the blue “O” in your Windows Systray and select Options
- In the Proxy Server Connection section, enter the same values as you found in your browser.
Will the World Snooker Screensaver allow viruses or unwanted third parties onto my PC?
No. The screensaver operates in the same way as an internet browser. It requests images from a server on the internet on a regular basis. The images are not sent to your computer by a server trying to connect to your machine from the internet.
Why do the images not display correctly on my PC?
If the 15-second animated slides do not display correctly on your machine you may need to update your version of Flash Player. Visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ for more information.
