Following the popularity of the inspirational wallpapers, I’ve created a screensaver with 75 inspirational quotes. Each image features an inspirational quote (like the one you see above) and is a great way to get your daily dosage of inspiration, right at your computer! The images appear randomly and are flashed on the screen for 6 seconds per image.
How to Install PE Screensaver (Windows only)
Here’s the installation guide for Windows users. Reader Jerry has informed me that it wouldn’t work for Mac since .exe is only for Windows platform.
- Download: PE Screensaver, Windows Only (Zip file) (48 meg) Right click, select “Save As,” then save to your Desktop.
- Unzip the file and you will find 2 documents – “pe-screensaver.exe” and “Read Me First.txt” inside.
- Right click “pe-screensaver.exe”. A drop down menu like below will appear. Click “Run as administrator”. An alert will pop up asking you if you want to proceed opening the software. Simply click “Yes”.
- A new screen will appear asking if you want to install Personal Excellence screen saver (refer to below). Click “Start” and the installation will begin.
- After about 20 seconds, the installation will be complete. You’re done!
Test the Screensaver
To double check if your screensaver has been installed correctly or if you want to change the settings of your screensaver, do the following:
- Right click your desktop. A pop-up will appear. Select “Personalize,” which should be the last option.
- A pop-up will appear, which will allow you to customize your Windows appearance. Click on the icon on the bottom right corner that says “Screen Saver”. It should say “Personal Excellence” below “Screen Saver,” indicating the PE screen saver has been activated.
- Another pop-up will appear that lets you edit your screen saver settings. Here, you can change the time it takes for your screen saver to activate when your computer is idle. You can also click “Preview” to see the screensaver in action.

Uninstall

Enjoy!
As usual, please pass this along to your friends and family to spread the love. Thank you!

It seems like an excellent resource. However, unfortuantely, it seems to be programmed into an executable (.exe) to only run under Windows. I jumped ship from Windows about 5 years when Microsoft released an animal from the Microsoft zoo called, ‘Vista’. Since then, I’ve been using Apple’s OS-X, a much smoother ride it has been. So, for people like myself it might be nice if you made the photos available as individual discreet photos wrapped up into a single zip file. This way, everyone can enjoy regardless what platform they use (Mac, Win, Linux, Android, Chrome, etc., etc.) My 2-cents worth.
Thanks for letting me know Jerry. I guess that means it doesn’t work on Mac then, unfortunately. That’s a bummer. :( If anyone know of any free screensaver creation software for Mac, let me know – I’ll be happy to give it a shot.
The reason why I don’t have the (high res) images available in a zipped up file is because it makes it very easy for people to misappropriate the photos (creating them into an app, selling them, etc). I also want readers to return to the site for the material too (along with new quotes), and having the images condensed in a zip file sort of removes that intent.
Hi Celes. Not sure of any program that will compile the hi-resolution photos into a packaged program to automatically run and load as a screensaver program. I know there are such programs that exist (i.e. Christmas screen saver which cycles through Christmas-mood type of images). But, I personally don’t know how to package photos into an autorunning application. Applications on the Mac usually have an extention of .app (screensaver.app). Considering the rapid growth and popularity of Apple’s products it might be cool to have a Mac equivalent if you know someone who could compile that program for you. With Apple due to make some major anouncements at the WWDC on Monday, I think there will be a major announcement of new products and a corresponding growth in interest as well.
Thanks a lot Jerry. I did some quick snooping around on the internet and found that Mac comes with a free screensaver creation software. I probably need to get my hands on a Mac (a friend’s, probably) and have it created there. Either way you are right that Mac is now more and more widely used, so I’d ideally want to make the material available for both Mac and Windows users.
I read about it now giving it a shot.
I have downloaded your screensaver. It’s so great and meaningful. Thank you very much. I am really looking for your next product. Nice day to you :-)
My absolute pleasure Nhi. I’m glad you like it! :))
Hi Celes
Your screensaver is brilliant and so inspiring! Thank you thank you thank you.
What I really like about it is that it covers so many different angles of positive affirmation. What doesn’t touch me today may touch me tomorrow and then here and there TOTALLY uplift me in one session.
