How does it all work!? PC 95/98/2000/NT/XP
Boléro, a one-movement orchestral piece originally composed as a ballet, premiered in 1928, is arguably Maurice Ravel's most famous musical composition.

Before Boléro Ravel had composed as well large scale ballets (Daphnis et Chloé, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909–1912), as suites for the ballet (second orchestral version of Ma Mère l'Oye, 1912), as one-movement dance pieces (for example La Valse, 1906-1920). Apart from such compositions intended for a staged dance performance, Ravel had demonstrated an interest in composing re-styled dances, from his earliest successes (the 1895 Menuet and the 1899 Pavane) to his more mature works like the Tombeau de Couperin (which takes the format of a dance suite).

Boléro epitomises Ravel's preoccupation with restyling and re-inventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement: the two piano concertos and the Don Quichotte à Dulcinée song cycle were the only compositions that followed after Boléro

I have a folder called "Download" dedicated to what I download from the internet, the name says it all and I will never forget where I have my screensavers stored.

Usually this is the time to get some coffee, depending on the speed of your connection, but because of AM screensavers's extremely small files you probably only have to wait a few minutes to get your screensaver. After, you can usually just doubleclick on the .exe file in the archive to start the installation of the screensaver. More importantly though, there is almost always a ReadMe.txt included in the archive, doubleclik it to read all about your screensaver.


Click through the installation dialogue boxes to install the screensaver. After installation it's time to configure your screensaver for its first use. To be able to do this we have to go to the Screen Saver Settings page. First, click on "Start" then go to "Settings", next click on "Control Panel", there doubleclick on "Display". From the tabs at the top choose "Screen Saver".
Because I have just installed the "Abysses aquarium" Screensaver the screen looks like the one above, depending on what screensaver you just installed this screen will differ.
Here you can change the screensaver settings by clicking n the "Settings" button and change the delay time for your screensaver to come on. You can also preview you screensaver by clicking the "Preview" button.

Once you have changed these settings to your satisfaction you can click "OK" to finish the installation. You have now successfully installed your first screensaver, congratulations, I'm sure many more will follow.
