Absolute Europe "Mega" is a spectacular photographic Windows screen saver that captures the mountains, forests, wilderness, villages, and towns of central and northern Europe. These evocative pictures are saved as high-resolution images, allowing outstanding viewing at screen settings as high as 1600 by 1200 pixels. The Absolute Europe "Mega" screen saver contains 110 crystal-clear photographs of England, Finland, Holland, Ireland, Scandinavia, Scotland, and Switzerland.

Installation of the program is simple, making the screen saver an ideal gift for experienced and inexperienced users alike. The program's first-class screen saver engine lets you determine how long each image remains on the screen, whether and where to include the photos' descriptive captions, and which of more than twenty fades, dissolves, wipes, zooms and sparkles to use as you switch from one image to the next. Furthermore, the screen saver is compatible with Microsoft's Windows add-on product Microsoft Plus!

Whether you're a European living away from home, you're rediscovering your family's European heritage, you're planning a trip to Europe, or you're a nature lover, the Absolute Europe "Mega" screen saver will provide hours of warm feelings and revisited memories. For a fraction of the cost of an air-fare to Europe, you can bring the beauty and charm of central and northern Europe to your computer.

Due to its size, this screen saver is only available on CD-Rom; there is no trial version. You can, however, download and try out the Absolute Europe screen saver, which displays 40 pictures available in the Mega version. The Mega version CD-Rom can be purchased through our US agent, with an option for free gift wrapping.
