Solved Solved - Bubbles Scrn Svr Issue - Restore Float on Desktop

3 things to try

Hi Shraams, Sorry it's like a nightmare. Here's three things I notice that can you can try:

Your Bubbles.vbs script says:
OWS = Create Object("WScript.Shell")
OWS.Run "C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-bubbles_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_031e0ac2e58b36bb\Bubbles.scr"

Your Task says:
Start a Program: Wscript.exe
Argument: "C:\Users\SZ\Documents\Stuff\Bubbles.vbs"

-------------------------------------------------------
My Bubbles.vbs script says:

Set OWS = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
OWS.Run "C:\Users\Chums.Acerberry\Desktop\Bubbles.lnk"

My Task says:
Start a Program: Wscript exe
Argument: "C:\Info 2\Basic\XP Helper\Bubbles\Bubbles.vbs"

------------------ 3 things to try --------------------------------------


1) Send Bubbles.scr as a shortcut to the desktop.

2) In the Script: Delete the space between Create and Object. It is CreateObject

3) In the Script: Change OWS.Run phrase to OWS.Run "C:\Users\SZ\Desktop\Bubbles.lnk" (if that's the correct path to your User Desktop -- and remember to change the Bubbles extension from .scr to .lnk to point to the shortcut. If not, the script won't find it.).


Hope this helps, don't give up!

Solved - windows 8.1 update 1 - italian

Ripristinare lo screensever bubbles normalmente su windows 8.1 pro senza programmi aggiuntivi


0. Disattivare gli altri screensever di windows, impostando come screensever predefinito: nessuno!


Parte 1 – Creare un collegamento sul desktop per Bubbles.scr


1. Un metodo semplice è quello di creare un nuovo collegamento (click col destro del mouse sul destkop, nuovo, collegamento, con il seguente percorso:
Code:
C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-bubbles_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17415_none_036aa59ee551a343\Bubbles.scr
(sistemato per la mia versione, il collegamento di questo sito non funzionava)


Parte 2 – Creare un Visual Basic Script per avviare il collegamento della parte 1.


1. Creare un nuovo documento di testo inserendo:
Code:
[COLOR=#141823][FONT=Helvetica]Set OWS = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
OWS.Run "C:\Users\[your profile name]\Desktop\Bubbles.lnk"[/FONT][/COLOR]
2. Sostituisci il nome del tuo profilo col tuo rimuovendo anche le parentesi quadre.
3. Salva con nome in
Code:
Bubbles.vbs
, salva come “tutti i file”.


Avrete quindi (rinominando in caso) una situazione simile
33ljuqf_01.jpg




Parte 3 – Avviare Bubbles.vbs nel programma pianificato


1. Avviare Utilità di pianificazione in: Pannello di controllo, strumenti di amministrazione.
2. Crerare una nuova attività “voce, crea attività”

Nella Tabella GENERALE
4. Nome: Bubbles
5. Descrizione: Let bubbles screen saver float over desktop.
6. Esegui solo se l’utente è connesso (pre.impostato)
7. Configura per: Windows 8.1
(Ricordarsi di non premere ok, bisogna configurare altro.)

NELLA Tabella AZIONI

8. Su azioni, cliccare su nuovo...
9. Operazione: Avvio programma.
10. In programma o script aggiungere questa voce manualmente: WScript.exe
11. In argomento aggiungere manualmente questo percorso: "C:\[path to your directory of choice without the brackets]\Bubbles.vbs" (da modificare ovviamente, nel mio caso stava tutto sul desktop)
12. Cliccare su ok per salvare

NELLA Tabella ATTIVAZIONE

13. Su attivazione, cliccare su nuovo…
14. Avvia attività: in caso di inattività (scorri per trovarlo nella lista).
15. Lasciare tutto inviariato ovvero, tutto non spuntato solo la voce Attivato risulta spuntato
16. Cliccare su salva.

NELLA Tabella CONDIZIONE

17. Alla schermata condizione, impostare: Avvia attività solo se il computer è inattivo per: 1 minuto!
18. Attendi inattività per: non attendere.
19. Selezionare la voce: interrompi se il computer non è piu inattivo
20. Selezionare la voce riavvia in caso di ripresa dell’avvio di inattività
21. Cliccare su ok.

NELLA Tabella IMPOSTAZIONI

22. Sulla schermata impostazioni. Selezionare consenti esecuzione attività su richiesta
23. Interrompi se eseguita per oltre 3 giorni.
24. Se l’attività non cessa quando richiesto, interrompi l’esecuzione
25. infine: Non avviare una nuova istanza


Parte 4 - Test

1. Salvare il tutto e testare, nella lista delle opzioni pianificate troverete Bubbles, click col destro su esegui
2. Se tutto sarà effettuato correttamente vedrete lo screensever in funzione.
3. Click col destro del mouse alla voce bubbles e quindi FINE.
4. Alla nuova schermata di richiesta fine di tutte le attività e del test? Cliccare su si.


Parte 5 - Attività
1. Accanto alla voce bubble creata come attività sarà visualizzata la scritta: PRONTO
2. L’attesa con queste impostazioni sarà di tipo 4 minuti, massimo 5 per la visualizzazione dello screensever (4 minuti che si prende l’unità di pianificazione)










edit: aggiunta del 17 dicembre (spostamento o rinominazione dei file)

Parte 6 (facoltativo)
per chi volesse spostare, o rinominare i file che io ho precedentemente salvato sul desktop e rinominato con bubble
deve necessariamente cambiare i percorsi di:
Parte 2, punto 2 (intero percorso fino al nome del file)
Parte 3, punto 11 (intero percorso fino al nome del file)

(meglio se le nuove cartelle non hanno spaziature)


edit: aggiunta del 22 dicembe (lo screensaver non funziona piu)
Parte finale (implementazione)
ho disattivato di recente la manutenzione automatica su windows 8.1, lo screensaver ha smesso di funzionare (non so se è dipeso da quello)
-Se ad un tratto dovesse smettere di funzionare (dopo il funzionamento normale che abbiamo risolto)
basta cancellare il programma pianificato "bubble" e ripetere l'operazione


AGGIUNTA: COME DISATTIVARE LA MANUTENZIONE AUTOMATICA

dalla voce "ESEGUI" o combinazione di tasti "WIN+R" digitare
Code:
control schedtasks

Dal pannello all'estrema sinistra ricerchiamo TASK SCHEDULED il cui percorso è:
Unità di pianificazione -> libreria unità di pianificazione -> microsoft -> windows

nel nuovo pannello (schermata centrale) ricerchiamo manutenzione automatica e quindi click col destro sulla seguente voce e poi disattiva, quindi non si avvierà piu il controllo di manutenzione pianificata ogni volta che il pc risulta inattivo

Done, done and done! The error is the same as it was before: "The system cannot find the file specified."

/sigh

Okay, I have Bubbles.scr on my desktop and I have Bubbles.vbs under C:\Users\SZ\Documents\Stuff

Script currently reads:

Set OWS = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
OWS.Run "C:\Users\SZ\Desktop\Bubbles.lnk"

Action reads:
"C:\Users\SZ\Documents\Stuff\Bubbles.vbs"

Everything else is set the way you directed. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I suggest you put everything inside c, no additional subfolders, to create the shortcut .lnk bubble that if you click operates direct

Thank you, Shraams, for trying. You say, you have Bubbles.scr on the desktop. If it has .scr as an extension, then it is a copy, not a shortcut. It should just say, "Bubbles" and have a little white box with a black arrow inside the box on it. Then you can be sure it is a shortcut and not a copy. The reason for the shortcut is, I found a copy does not work on my desktop, and my script did not work when I pointed to the source file in Windows subdirectory, either. I think that has to do with security. Anyway, a few other people here have had success, if you want to try their solutions, see also Predatorr's code above. Hope this helps. BTW, did you fix your statement to "CreateObject"?

I did change my statement to "CreateObject."

I figured out my problem and it's working, now! The "Bubbles" on my desktop is a shortcut, not a copy. The problem was that when I created it, it named itself "Bubbles - Shortcut" and I hadn't noticed! I just renamed it to just "Bubbles" and now everything is working! I can't tell you how relieved I am. What an obvious solution!

Thanks for your help, everyone!

I'm having the same problem others were having before with the file could not be found error. I've followed all the instructions and tried all the solutions in the reply's but nothing has worked. Another thing that's strange is the shortcut to the scr won't even launch when trying to start manually on the desktop, it just gives some kind of message saying that this program can't run on your operating system. Does this not work anymore? If finkey or someone else reply's confirming it does still I can give more information and screenshots.

Edit: Never mind, I found my problem.
