XP? If so can you help me out and explain how??
Thanks for any help.

First - you would have to be WAY more specific about what screensaver you
mean. You assume there is only ONE screensaver out there titled
"UNDERWATER".

If you mean one like this:

Then might I suggest you DON'T.

Get this one:

Shenan,
Thanks for the reply and personnel email. I downloaded both of the
ones you suggested. The one cost $5.00 which I did not like and the
other is $19.95. The one that I was hoping to use was the one that
comes with windows 98 second edition. Is there any way to copy that
one over to xp from Windows 98??
Thanks again.

Doubtful. You will have to get one for XP. We are talking two very
different OSs here.. Windows XP has NO relation to Windows 98 at all, it
came from the Windows NT/Windows 2000 line and they just "bubbled it up" for
the mass market/consumer arena.

That $19.95 Sach's Aquarium is the best fishtank you can get. Well worth
it - if you are into such things.

Also, check Fry's Electronics or Outpost.com as they usually offer this
software for Free after Mail in Rebate. They do this it seems like once
every other month.

Here's a recent message I saved from the xp.customize group. Haven't
tried it.



Are you missing the old Plus! themes that windows 98 had and win XP
doesnt?
You can still get those themes by using PLUS!98 for Windows XP! (free)
http://electricboom.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=2

IMPORTANT: Please remember to use the Windows XP CLASSIC theme before
you use PLUS!98 for Windows XP.
You can do this from Start>Control Panel>Display>Themes
Choose: Windows Classic
Then from the Themes tab you can choose the theme you want.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
