I had screensavers such as Dangerous Creatures and
Aquarium that were working until I upgraded to XP.
Shouldn't the screensavers still work in XP? I also had
Desktop themes control panel item that doesn't seem to
exist now.
 
did you saver them as screensavers...just what did you do to get from 98 to
XP...give facts.....not jibberish...
 
I upgraded from a system that had the screensavers and
Plus on it. After upgrade, no longer a Desktop Themes in
control panel.

So you upgraded from one operating system with its extras (Plus Pack,
themese made for that operating system, etc) and it is not working in your
new operating system? Sounds right to me.. However, here is an article on
how to change Desktop Themes in Windows XP:

No - the screensavers for Windows 98 should NOT still work in Windows XP.
XP also has a "Plus Pack" for sale. However, I do not recommend it. Do a
google search on Windows XP Screensavers and/or Windows XP themes and see
what ones you can find.
