Reviewed by: CNET Staff
In A Winter Wonderland, 3D cartoon elves and children cavort in a photorealistic snowy forest clearing. Cartoony snowflakes fall as moderately realistic reindeer toss Christmas decorations around on their antlers. Occasionally Santa strides through and says "Merry Christmas," but that's the only audio. The screensaver doesn't appear on the Add/Remove list, but the installation tells you where to find the file (C:\Windows\system32\) for manual removal. Nag notices overwhelm the program's daffy charm. When the program first starts, it presents a promo screen for about 20 seconds before starting the animation. Scrolling nag text appears frequently, and after a couple of minutes, the nag screen appears again for a few seconds. You can exit the screensaver by pressing any key. Since the quality of music varies so widely among screensavers, the lack of even a song snippet makes it impossible to evaluate A Winter Wonderland properly.Publisher's description
From MegaScreensavers :You're in a forest clearing somewhere near the North Pole. All kinds of characters drop by in this screensaver, and if you stay long enough, you may just see Santa himself.

Summary: Having to click keys to get rid of it is annoying. Doubly annoying are the marquee advertisement to purchase the product and the advertising delay at startup. AND I can't find it to delete it. It's not listed under either name that shows up on the p... read more >>
