  Loading screen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A loading screen is a picture shown by a computer program, often a video game, while the program is loading or initializing.
Loading screens that disguise the length of time that a program takes to load were common when computer games were loaded from audio tape, a process which could take anywhere up to 20 minutes.
Nowadays, most games are loaded from optical disc which is very fast, but games still include loading screens to disguise the amount of time taken to initialize the game in RAM.

Screen savers are small computer programs which reduce or eliminate 'screen burn' and often provide some visual entertainment or interest.
Highly graphical (sound and video) screen savers can impact on your systems' resources both by using a relatively large amount of disk storage space and by requiring a significant memory and processor power.
