I have the Scupltor.scr by Tallis Software. It is a Win 95
version1 and works fine on Win 98. I want to put it on my
XP Pro edition. When I right click it and click Test when
the program is put on XP it starts to work. When I right
click it and choose Install it just brings up the Display
Properties. I have put the file in the System 32 folder
and in the Service Pack Files folder/I386 where the other
screen savers are, but it does not come up on the list of
screen savers in the Display Properties window. Does
anyone know where to put the file or how to get it working
in XP. I have tried to get an updated version of the
scupltor.scr but to no avail. If you want me to send you
the screensaver only 24KB's to see if you can get it to
work in XP I will be glad to do so. It is Freeware.

Thanks in advance,
Bill
 
I have figured this one out myself and it might help
other's so I am posting to myself. If you want to move a
screensaver to XP as in the message below do this. Move
the screensaver file into C:\Windows\System32 and then
right click and rename it with (ss) before the name.
Example: Sculptor.scr change to ssSculptor.scr and then
right click on the file and pick the install option and it
will work on XP.
Later Ya'll
