Dog Screen Cleaner Screensavers - 4 Different Dogs (Win & Mac)

Posted by: john In: dogs| funny

Need your screen cleaned all the time? After much requests from the comment from the original screen cleaning pug, below is a list of screen cleaning dogs that are sure to keep your screen spic and span … or maybe just spit and span. :)

Thanks to Bill Godwin passed this along to me. These screen savers are from the movie “Must Love Dogs“. I’ve never seen it, but if you have, please leave a comment and let me know how it was.

Update: If you’re having trouble with the “flash.ocx” file, please follow the directions below:
1. Browse to the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder.
2. Locate the flash9.ocx file and right click it and select copy.
3. Right click in a blank spot of the same folder and select paste.
4. You will then find you have a file called Copy of Flash9.ocx in the folder.
5. Right click the new file and select rename and rename to flash.ocx

Thanks Traaceyy for finding this at techenigma.com.

Comment by Rach

This was awesome! Thank you so much!

By the way, I did have to use the workaround and the new file name should be
Flash.ocx not Flash9.ocx

Figured that out from trial and error.

Dear Cosma,

I also had the same problem with flash.ocx and after looking in internet, I could solve the problem. It is very easy.

You may find it in the following link:
http://blogs.chron.com/helpline/archives/2007/02/flashocx_error.html

Besides, this is a copy of the text how to solve the problem:

To do this, browse to the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder. Locate the flash9.ocx file and right click it and select copy. Now just right click in a blank spot of the same folder and select paste. You will then find you have a file called Copy of Flash9.ocx in the folder. Right click the new file and select rename and change the name to flash.ocx.

Please enjoy it. It is so cute!

 
Comment by john

yes the 64 bit vista has many problems within itself. On the vista 64 bit. You have the option to run it in a 32 bit version to see the file. Go to settings then look for that option.

The one in the top right left hand corner downloads and installs fine but when you try to open it gives this message: You cannot use the screen saver dog1 on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version. Please help.

Comment by adam

Comment by Faith

This was really cute! When I first saw the “subject”, I grinned, thinking it was one I had received before, but cute enough to’read’ again. So, imagine my surprise when I opened it and saw this adorable little Pug! The one I got before, and this will be of interest to Kristie David, (above) who replied to this on 2/27 and inquired if there were any with cats. The one I previously received WAS of a little kitten!! And just as adorable as this Pug!! I can’t help her with a website, but just put kittenscreensavers in your search engine and see what happens. You have nothing to lose by trying! Good luck! And to who ever thought this up - three cheers!! Something good, clean and wholesome and if this doesn’t make you smile, well then, I’d say you have a serious problem!! Have a great day and thanks again for sharing this little cutie!

 
Comment by Jane

I Love the Pug. I got one looks just like it.

 
Comment by Christine

I have a Mac and it ran the zip file but in the middle of the install it gave me “an error occurred: -5000 The Screen Saver could not be installed because an error occurred.”

Any idea what the problem could be?

Comment by tom b

Me too
whats the problem - please cause i really love this

Comment by Zack

I have a completely unrelated screensaver I tried to install and I got the SAME -5000 error. (Crisis Core official screensaver, Mac version, of course) with both the US AND the Japanese versions.
WHAT is the issue? That error message tells me nothing.

Comment by David Bucher

Hi,

I was walking by a co-workers office today and noticed your screen saver running on his PC. I just had to have it and asked him where he got it. He sent me your link to this site. Unfortunately it will not work on my new Mac Pro and was hoping you could help me. Here are the detailed steps I took to attempt to make it work and the error I received.

1. Download file (For MAC)
2. Expand file using Stuffit to my download folder
3. Ran dog4_osx
4. Warner Brother Logo comes up and it looks like it is trying to install the screen saver then error in step 5.
5. Error - ” The screen saver could not be installed because an error occurred.

If you could send me a work around to : Davidb17@verizon.net I would really appreciate it.

thanks

David Bucher

 
Comment by Julie Davis

Comment by Debra

Comment by Catalina

If you ever get an English Bulldog one let me know. I have 2 of them.

Comment by Jessica

oh i just got an english bulldog and it is just the cutest thing. i took the pug because it kinda looks like the bulldog. but it would be great if you got a bulldog.

 
 
Comment by REEBEERENEE

Hi!! WOW, what a BRILLIANT idea!!! I downloaded dog3, because it was the closest dog that you had to my Maltese… I wish you had one of a Maltese and also one of a Bassett Hound, because I have 2 dogs of those breeds… both of my dogs are white in color. My parents’ dog is a Silky Terrier, and I KNOW they would just LOVE to have the screen saver made after their “Sam”. It would look great on ALL of their computers they have in their home!!! Thank you SO much for sharing these wonderful creations with all of us! Please continue to make them in more breeds!! I will be checking back periodically to see if you have my Maltese or my Bassett/Springer anytime in the near future! I’ll also check for my parents’ Silky Terrier! Thanks again and GOD BLESS!! REEBEERENEE!

Any news on an update to work on Mac 10.5.2?

 
Comment by boupshee

These will play on Flash Player 8 but not on Flash Player 9 . You would need to go into your control panel - add and remove programs - uninstall Flash Player #9. Go to http://www.FlashPlayer.com and install FlashPlayer #8 (Free)

 
Comment by Teri

I have a blood hound that could ‘clean; that screen in two licks. Wanna film her!

Thanks!

 
Comment by Terri

I just love this screensaver! I have never been a dog lover but after 20 years together I finally gave in and let the hubby have his dream…. A rottweiler… pretty big decision for a gal who never had a dog before! But I have to tell you all… She is the most loving and playful creature I ever met!! So can we have a Rottie screen? Let’s face it… It would be funny!! I have a rottie you could use!

Comment by awtumschild

I saw this at my doctor’s office and it was sooo cute! I asked the nurse if she knew where it came from and she said that she had so many requests for it that she printed the address. She opened her drawer and gave me a strip of paper with the address. It obviously is very popular! I am a dog lover(i have 3, a poodle, a schnoodle, schorkie, a guinea pig and 4 birds too) and I love this screensaver! Kudos to the maker.

 
 
Comment by little goran

how have you convinced four little dogs to lick repeatedly a piece of glass? I’m curious…

Comment by Brenda

its a small bit of film on a loop I should think

 
 
Comment by Tom Reed

Whats up with that ? WinXP SP2.

 
Comment by Tom Reed

oops … I get the message “This screensaver has expired” ???

 
Comment by Ai

I saw must love dogs when it came out…
We were the only ones in the theater. o__o;

I was only about 12 years old though, it didn’t appeal to me, so I spent the time making shadow puppets on the screen with the projector. The dogs in it are cute though. ;)

 
Comment by sam

So has anyone found a work around for intel based mac yet? I also got it unstuffed, said it was properly installed but when i tried to choose it on the screensavers it said contact the developer for a newer version.

Comment by mel

The screensaver doesn’t work on newer Macs… So, for people using a 10.4 Mac or later, try SaveHollywood. It lets you use a video as your screensaver!

Comment by John

They need to upgrade to a new version if Screentime for Flash - it fixes this problem.

 
 
Comment by Tom

Comment by Carmen Vj

OMG. This is so cute and so different? This is an awesome idea you have come up with. I will download 3 for each of the computers I have here in the house. I am going to let my kids pick out which one they would like. I love it! Thanks

 
Comment by gray

here are some more you should try and do:
1.Duck
2.Killer whale!!!
3.Portuguese water dog
4.Human
5.Albino monkey

 
Comment by gray

i know i know everybody agrees with me see its a good idea th kids will love an albino monkey on their computer. but it better be free and for windows

 
Comment by Sammiam

How about a big dog - one with lots of slobber! Any big dog would be great (though as the owner of 2, of course a Great Dane would be great).

 
Comment by anonimous

love it! awsome and sooooooooooo sooooooo cute thou i do agree with the comment above ie; golden labs , retrivers, spaniel the whole dog collection would be AWSOME but it probably would take ages to make so i guess so far so cute!

 
Comment by Mrs Frig

Oh, come on ! We shouldn’t have to install “save hollywood” or “bollywood” or “gateswood”… Please, be nice to upgrade this cute doggy-pie for Macusers… Arf !
