Updated after the first version failed... So for those of you who were fast to download v1.0 wich was only online for 1 hour re-download v1.1

[Provolino]

Downloading now

Edit:
Installed... it works
Maybe you should remove mgb screensaver because it's not microsoft official one
Also you should update vista beta and vista beta 2 screensavers with rtm versions

P.S.
I have vista installed... if you need screensaver files let me know

If you install vaio you can patch and add them... Just right and choose patch vista screensaver then put those that work in system32

[Provolino]

ok thanks... do you want I'll send them to you after patching for your pack?

For the Vista Bubbles Screensaver in Windows XP, is it possible to have the current desktop as the background instead of just the wallpaper? If so, how? If not, I understand.

Thanks Rick! They are much better than the original XP screen savers. I really like the one called bliss!
I think you will also be happy to know that I used you "add-on installer" add-on to install these and it worked like a charm. Thanks for your hard work!

[tap52384]

I didn't see a screensaver in the pack called bliss; are you sure you're not referring to the Windows XP Screensaver Bliss that was released a few years back?

Hey rick do you know if there is a ported Vista screensaver, that just says "Windows Vista" but when it changes it's place on the screen, the "vLogon.scr" design comes up and shines the lines. Kind of hard to explain.. but it's called Windows Vista Logo in the acutal OS. Thanks

If you have Alky you can patch them to work on XP... here are some ones from Vista SP1, you copy them and the en-US folder to system32 and right click on them and choose Patch Vista Screensaver

thanks is very good

[bleeb]

Where do I put the screensavers themselves? I get an error when I try to patch them with Alky

[ricktendo]

system32

[bleeb]

Thanks, the Windows Logo screensaver keeps giving me an error though, when I try and patch it.

It says, "Sorry. This application attempted to delay-load a library or function that does not exist. Instability may occur."

Install Wirleless Lan API, you can find a link here in the FAQ for sidebar http://www.wincert.n...&...post&p=7623

Installed the Hotfix, and it still says the error message upon patching, bah.

Any idea what might cause an "Unspecified Error encountered" error on Aurora, Bubbles, Mystify, and Ribbons when installed in VMware? Everything works on my real machine.

[MrNxDmX]

They require a 3d environment and vmware or such virtual machines doesnt support that.

[docmike]

Works great! I wanted ask is in system32 what are these named if you want to get rid of them? Not that i will but just in case.
Doc
I looked in system32 folder and found all the other scr files i have except the new ones.Are the in a different folder??

Thanks for the reply. I thought it was just VMware, I just couldn't figure out why all the other screen savers work.
