Does anyone know why the screensaver downloaded from Losts Site doesnt work on a mac even though it says it should download for mac????

Thanks!
 
Works perfectly for me. Did you install the screen saver properly?


Then again, I'm not a Lost fan--so maybe that's the trick ;).

I downloaded the file but it had no defualt application for opening it with... I tried to alter the ending to a .saver but it still didnt work!!!
 
Of course that won't work. It's a zip archive. Open it with Stuffit or BOMArchiveManager.

ill have to try downloading the new stuff it expander becuase my version wont do it!!!

Hopefully this will work!

It's the app used by the OS to zip and unzip data. I suspect that your Mac did just fine unzipping the archive, as mine did, but the screensaver #1 simply doesn't work.

seems funny that a big network like ABC would make a screensaver that doesnt work! Surely someone has told them about it!

Thanks for your help though!
