Re: Screensavers?

[EPPack]

Does this include Windows 2000? I have an older one that worked fine in
Win2K Pro, but when I copied the .scr file to my system32 folder, it doesn't
show up in the list of available ss in the screensaver tab at all. I have
moved it to numerous places, including the windows folders, but nothing
makes it show up. However, if I r/click on the .scr file and test or
configure it, it works fine.There was no install file, btw, just the .scr
and a help file.

What else needs to be done to make it appear in the SS list? IF it will, of
course.

Thanks!

A. Due to the new graphical user interface design of Windows XP,
Windows 95/98 themes or screensavers are not compatible.
