I see. I tried that , but there still seems to be errors with this example project. I am still trying to get my screensaver working, but now I used another much better example project:

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/ScreenSaver_plug-in_example_for_S60_3rd_Edition?ticket=ST-72212-xECGaDpfQpp5xfqHb3dzfxGT9f0w7y1wX57-20

I have almost got it working, but check my new topic

How to get a pointer to MScreensaverPluginHost from a MScreensaverPlugin class?

to see what my problem is now.

SID is the "SecureID" of your executable.

If you don't specify it in your mmp file, it will get the same value as the second uid you specify on the "UID" line in the mmp file.
(also known as UID3)

So make sure you changed the right UID, the UID2 must be 0x10009D8D still.

UID 0x10009D8D 0x12345678

Maybe there is a mismatch between this, and some you have specified in an rss file somewhere...

In your error messages above, I cannot figure out if "HandlwWSEvent" is written my mistake or intentioanlly so. Please check this symbol. Can't figure out anything else from this...

OK, here are the debug messages. Do you know what I can do about the ERROR: Plugin SID Mismatch ERROR for Z:\sys\bin\ExampleScreenSaver.dll ?

Did you try debugging the project and check where exactly is the application crashing. Try posting that part.

I see. I checked my RSS file, but couldn't find any strangs things in it. It's exactly the same as in the example in
http://www.newlc.com/s60-3rd-edition-writing-a.html
,except that I changed the UID to the right one. This is how it looks like. Can you find anything in it that needs to be changed? Maybe I need to have the RegistryInfo.rh and screensaverpluginintdef.hrh files in the project also?

Hi,

you will get system error -1 this means you may have problem in .rss file. so you can check that your .rss file is compiling properly or not. you can clean and rebuild your application.

you can try "abld resource" command

I have built my Nokia screensaver from the guidelines in

http://www.newlc.com/s60-3rd-edition-writing-a.html

I first built the project through importing the bld.inf file for the "Example screensaver" provided there.
.
But I got system error -1 when I choose the screensaver from "power saver". Then I tried to build my own project with Carbide. I did this with
