Toast doesn’t care what platform it runs on, does it?
Remember the days of the flying toasters? Those days are here again! We previously mentioned that the screensaver was available for the Mac, which really got some readers upset. Thankfully faithful reader Rick came to the rescue and has compiled a PC version for all to enjoy!
So without fear you can download the retrotastic Flying Toasters screensaver for Mac or PC – FREE!
UPDATE: To install:
Windows – Drag the .scr file into your Windows directory, right click on it and select install. It should now appear in your screensaver list.
Mac: Drag the .saver file into ~/Library/Screen Savers/ (~ is you home directory)
thanks dan.

I still have the DOS version disk. And the Complete After Dark Screen Saver Collection, but setup will not work it wants 3.11 version windows. All the screen savers are zipped up as *.ad files.
…I thought Toast was a Mac-only program.
;D
demand for my app slashdotted your server?
Hi,
You can install on Macintosh the following way:
For 10.3 (Panther) or 10.4 (Tiger), double-click on the .saver file.
System Preference will then display a panel to know how you want to install it: for yourself or all users. No need to dig through the Library folder.
An even easier way to install the saver on Mac OS X is to just double click it when unzipped. It installs itself either for the main user only or for all users, at your own choosing.

Torradeiras voadoras
Maior flashback hoje. Para quem lembra do nostálgico screensaver com as torradeiras voadoras, alguem resolveu liberar gratuitamente o screensaver para windows e mac. Para instalar no Windows, descompacte o arquivo no diretório de instalação do windows …
Sweet! :D Thanks!
[...] there is nothing wrong with some oldschool, you know that so one thing cool ’bout these days are screensavers – the time when the burning in of the crt was prevented by these programs. we all know flying toasters, dont we? well guess what, its been redone and its available for x86 and os x head over to uneasysilence and get it for free. enjoy [...]
Minor bug: On a computer with 2 monitors it only runs on the primary monitor, the secondary monitor continues to show whatever was on it before the screen saver came on (WinXP).
Yea. Know if only someone would come out with a XP theme that resemebled Windows 3.1.
Sorry for the typo’s.
I meant to say:
Yeah. Now if only someone would come out with a XP theme that resemebled Windows 3.1.
Thanks, Man!
Old School!

Can someone else host the file somewhere? Seems like the link is down. Also hope to see the Confetti Factory as well, I remember looking at that for hours…
Where is the toasted bred?
BS: If you are running 2 monitors, try installing UltraMon (www.ultramon.com)– this will allow you to run it on both screens, and a whole lot more. If you have 2 monitors, this is must.
bxlanh, if you download a totally awesome program from Stardock called WindowBlinds, it comes with a Windows 3.1 theme for XP.
Somehow something was linked improperly to a file, or page.
Did you link directly to the file?
If you believe this is not an error, feel free to use the search feature of UNEASYsilence.com
Freud proved that there is an undeniable link between flying toasters and gayness. Fact – If you like flying toasters you are gay.
[...] They’re back – in a low footprint standalone version for Mac or PC. [...]
Bummer, not multi-monitor capable!
Got a URL for download? The one @ this URL doesn’t work anymore (for the PC):
http://www.uneasynetwork.com/media/FlyingToasterPC.zip
Thanks!
It might be because of a funky firewall… I’ll email the file.
Wow! I can now have flying toasters on both my Dell Latitude and Mac PowerBook G4. Looks great when they are sitting next to each other. Too bad the graphics aren’t the same and the toast is mssing on the PC… I’ll survive, I get toasted enough as is! :-D
Thanks for the great memories.
We are always trying to improve it!

Great! Now… somebody find me those cute Kittens chasing the butterfly screensaver that I used to have on my old Performa!

Dan,
Hello again!
I emailed you this A.M. (east coast U.S.A. time that is, purely relative depending on where YOU are, lol) for your rendition of “Flying Toasters” to be sent my way via email…
SO, that said? Please, by all means?? Send it my way if you would! I’m a big fan of screensavers myself.
Also, I sent you one in the letter/email I wrote in return, for a “fair exchange” type of arrangement…
(I think you’ll like it as well)
“Joey Neckbone”
Eat your hearts out – I have an actual copy of the screen saver for PC Win v.95 with all the classics (hula girl, rodger dodger, flying toasters, etc…) – I thought I was the only “old school” geek. Thanks for letting me know others are out there.
Dan,
I sent you another email!
(Content, I.E., was -> That you may have to pack it into a password protected zipfile/rarfile, & rename the .scr extension as well)
Hotmail + Outlook 2003 can be a real ‘you-know-what’ (about attachments & such).
Thanks for your time & trouble first of all building this “blast-from-the-past”, & also taking the time to send it my way!
“Joey Neckbone”
P.S.=> Hope you got the one I built years ago & sent your way as well “in exchange” for the one you’ll send me…
Ironically, I just ran across an After Dark Star Trek:TNG screen saver. It’s a 2 disk install. Disk utilities say it’s good, but I’m too lazy to format a test machine and install 3.11 to see if they work.
[...] Speaking of computers, why don’t I share niftiness? First, how about a flying toasters screen saver for OSX and XP? Sure, the concept of screen saver died when monitors stopped needing them, but the After Dark screensavers are just classic – I think Vivendi got the assets of Berkeley Systems via Sierra, and I think I could be happy for a short while if someone released a new version of After Dark, with all the classics, for modern operating systems. In the meantime, enjoy the screen saver until the cease-and-desist kicks in. [...]
EXCELLENT – toasters are what make life worth living. Quite possibly the BEST invention ever made!
What am I doing wrong? I only get toasters, but no toast! Even if I increase the toast quotient in the config! Weird!
i fuckin hate you guys for liking toasters so fuckin much fuck all of you bye bitches
yall stupid as hell for putting that shit on there
old skool! Thanks man. Ik ben blij, dankjewel!
Charles
yes, where is the toast in the pc version?? in the next update please add the ability to determine how many pieces of toast in addition to toasters. also if anyone really wants the original AD version I have it, and it’s only about a meg zipped, the problem is that there is no way to slow it down for modern pc’s so it runs extremely fast like it’s on crack….I have yet to try it on our old pos p2 350 to see if it runs better on that, but i’d probably still have to rip out some ram…
Where’s the theme song?
Works great execpt transparancy brings the whole thing to a halt. So I just don’t use trans. No biggie. This brings back some memories. I had flying toasters on my very first mac Thanks very much.
Thanks fot that time journey. I hope there are no unwanted guests in it.
Nice, remember mentioning the classic flying toaster screensaver in my final year thesis project at college. That thesis was a mad yolk…
WHERE IS THIS TOAST?!?!?
also, wasn’t there an option where you could choose how burnt you wanted it?
LoL this brings back some great memories. Although I didn’t discover After Dark until version 4.0 sometime around 1993 I think. I remember you could set how burnt you wanted the toast and all that good stuff. Somebody really needs to start a project to recreate all of those classics. Remember DareDevil Dan where he would jump all of the busses and stuff! So great. Does After Dark even exist anymore? I really wish that the source code would get released.
Here is the solution! Works Great Happy Toasters to everyone
After Dark and Windows XP
This information only applies to version 4.0 of the Afterdark series. Other versions of Afterdark will not install on Windows XP.
Installation
From your CD locate the ADE folder.
Copy all of this folder to your harddisk
Locate and edit the setup.inf file in the new folder
Locate the section of the file that looks like the following:
FileCount=8
File1=Win,N,Y,N,Y,N,L:Install,12592,4.0.0.0,5,folder.afi,1,3,AD2.afi,,
File2=Win,N,Y,N,Y,N,L:Install,13536,4.0.0.0,6,folder.afi,1,3,Disney.afi,,
File3=Win,N,Y,N,Y,N,L:Install,12560,4.0.0.0,7,folder.afi,1,3,MAD.afi,,
File4=Win,N,Y,N,Y,N,L:Install,12400,4.0.0.0,8,folder.afi,1,3,Marvel.afi,,
File5=Win,N,Y,N,Y,N,L:Install,12976,4.0.0.0,9,folder.afi,1,3,StarTrek.afi,,
The file count might vary typically the value is 7 or 8. Change the FileCount to be one less.
e.g. For my example above
FileCount=7
Run the setup.exe from the ADE folder.
After Dark in Action
If you are successful then you should have all of your favourite antics from Bad Dog, Super Guy’s Crazy thoughts and the musical Flying Toasters
Some people have reported that the After Dark tab does not appear correctly on the display screen (see above). If this is the case with your installation then select the settings tab and press the advanced button. The Afterdark controls may appear here.
Known Issues
If you choose Fish World, the Art Critic or Rain Forest modules then these cause problems with the options and may lock up, you will need to restart before you can configure any other modules. However if you are happy with the default options then these will run ok.
As mentioned ONLY 4.0 modules will run on XP this means that you won’t be able to have you Startrek and Simpsons modules running.
For reasons not yet determined some of screensavers do appear to max the processor when running on Win XP
I installed using the custom option and unchecked the direct x tab as some of those early programs did not check if you had a later version of directx and wrote over it.
Yay!!!! The toasters are back! Thank you!

I love it! Any chance Starry Night will be coming soon?
Wow, at last. Very nice indeed. Love this one :)
Hey i like this flying toaster and stuff, but i really want the whole After Dark Series! I want Bad Dog!!
No matter how many toasts I select, they don’t show. =(
I’d really like the After Dark “dropping marble” screensaver. Do you know how I could get it?
Eeeep! I was just thinking about this, back in gradeschool when I used to be sitting in the princpal’s office, like every day, watching the toaster screensaver for what seemed like hours… but I am sorta bummed that this is missing the floating toast. -sigh- But still, happy that I have flying toasters! w00t!
Thank you. One flying toaster is worth a thousand earthbound ones.
Yay! Thanks so much! :)
Hello i had the after dark with people in the window at night and you can see the shadows in a building. had it at work but they upgraded and i lost it, the man who installed for me passed away have been looking for it for at least two years. help need to know the name and where i can get it.

Andres Martinez
hi guys, anyone here have the full afterdark games?
Very good. I was looking for After Dark’s BAD DOG, but this will hold me for awhie.
Lolly
very good!
I like the AfterDark!
Thanks all of you.
I also looking for the “StarNight” for AfterDark. Does any one know that? Has any screen saver the similar theme?
Anyway, thanks again.
Ah! Brilliant! Thanks!! (^_^) Brings back memories! Does any one know if somebody are re-making some of their other screensavers, such as the one with the falling cows and fish?
Will there ever be a version with the toast?
Is there anyway of getting after dark 3.0 to work with me or xp ? Iwas so disappointed lost the registration number.
I hope someone can help me out with this. I just installed a new video card (nVidia GeForce 7600GT) and now the screen saver won’t work anymore. Whenever it tries to run, I get the Windows XP “this program has encountered an error…” message. I’ve tried redownloading it and reinstalling it, but that doesn’t seem to help. Any advice?
Cool the toaster is back for the long fly.
No matter what I do. I can’t get the toast! Whats up with that?!
Is there any way to get the flying toilets screensaver for pc? i remember it used to be in the afterdark ss prog for mac with the wagner music
i cant get it help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can you please pleeeeeeease bring bad dog back! that is the greatest screensaver ever!!!!
I’m very happy to have the flying toasters back. But now what we need is the flying cows and to bring back the totally twisted after dark screensavers.
When I download the flying toasters for PC I get an “AutoCAD” Script file and when I copy it to the WINNT folder and right click on it there is no install option.
SCR does not seem to be associated with any specfic program on my computer. What is wrong? – desperate for toast.
Hey all, a flooded bedroom closet forced me to sort thru the thousands of old floppies I had carted around for years. I found Totally Twisted After Dark on 3 floppies, spanned with (remember this) an old DOS prog called Slice. Anyhoo, I managed to salvage the three spanned archives, and rescued the full TTAD prog. The sad news is it won’t install on XP. (But you knew that.) However, I’ve got it in a full zipped file if anyone’s interested. I would love to see someone come up with a way to make it run on XP, ‘cuz it’s the one screensaver worth looking at.
I used to watch Mike for hours. hahahhahha! Thanks for the memories!
this misses 3 important parts of the flying toasters……………….the toast the music and the words scrolling
Hell yeah this is a damn good screensaver BOOYA!!
o you have salvaged the TTAD and the 3 splitted files right? I have some tricks & ways to wreak havoc onto my XP installation. If you care then you can send it my way so I can test it out and hopefully getting things working.

what about the one where the dog digs up the screen? i can’t find it anywhere.
Flying toasters. I love ya man.
Wicked… well done
