Has worked well and as advertised on all of my PC's (8) at the moment. I like being able to add your own message like but the words seem to come in random order. I wish you could have it appear in the order written. Simple to install if you take the time to read the directions and follow them.

i wish you could have add options to change the colors. i love it coz it response so fast. thanks

I like it but hitting install brings up the screen saver option but I am unable to use it. It does not add the screensaver to the menu Please help

Cool screen saver!

The lines that fall on the matrix film have different speeds.
In this ScreenSaver the line speeds are exactly the same.
Apart from this flaw, ScreenSaver is good.

Matrix Linux

This Matrix screensaver is only 90k and runs efficiently. It has a good selection of settings. I copied the matrix.scr file to my C:WindowsSysWOW64 folder and it runs fine in Windows 10 64-bit. Multiple monitors are supported. This is a good choice.

Cmatrix Cmd

Great screensaver. Tons of settings. Absolutely get this if you're looking for a Matrix screensaver.

This is an awesome screensaver. It's free, has support for multiple monitors and has a wide range of settings to change, including text color and font. I recommend this screensaver for those looking for a good matrix screensaver that has multi monitor support. Thumbs up from me!
