If you run the install program, I recommend that you do so as an Administrator on that computer.
The install program
hugeclock-setup.exe
will copy all the files to your Windows System Folder:
C:\Windows\System32 (on 32-bit Windows)
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (on 64-bit Windows)
The install program will overwrite any previous version so you are not required to uninstall older versions.
An alternate install method is to download the executable file
hugeclock.scr
and copy it to your Windows System Folder.
Programs with an .scr extension in these folders, such as hugeclock.scr, are recognized by Windows as screensavers and appear in the Windows list of available screensavers. A desktop shortcut link to hugeclock.scr is also created so you can run HugeClock as a normal program. HugeClock is a 32-bit program but also runs fine on 64-bit systems.
A screensaver is actually a real program, but the file extension is .scr instead of the usual .exe found on most program files. This allows Windows to recognize the program as a screensaver when it is placed in the Windows System Folder.
To setup hugeclock as your screensaver on Windows 10:
Right-click on the Desktop.
Personalize.
Lock screen.
Screen saver settings.
and then this screen is shown:
Then use the "Screen Saver" drop-down box and pick "hugeclock" from the list of screen savers. Then click OK. The "Settings" button brings up the setup screen above. The "Preview" button runs the screensaver in full screen mode.
Earlier versions of Windows may have slightly different steps.
You can also change the settings by pressing the C key when the screensaver is running.

I am PayPal Verified. My Account Creation Date is May 30, 2000. Yes, I have been using this PayPal account for over TWENTY-FOUR (24) years.
The Official PayPal Verified Seal above means that I have provided PayPal with proof that I have a bank account and that my address is valid. Banks are required by law to screen account holders so PayPal's verification process increases security when you pay parties you do not know. My bank has my address and Social Security number on file. I have been using PayPal for over 20 years.
I use PayPal because the fees are low. If you send me $10.00 PayPal only takes about $0.84 so I net $9.16. All other payment services take several dollars so I would have to charge around $15 for my program to gain the same net. This lowers the cost to you. PayPal is usually free for most transactions, such as Ebay auction payments, but as a business I am required to have a Premier Account with fees. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can still use PayPal to make a payment using your credit card. PayPal does not charge you any fees for this. PayPal is a very secure and reliable payment system used by millions of people around the world.
