    Wouldn't the screensavers be saved into a directory somewhere in windows. Isn't it just a case of copying from one machine to another.

    I have a machine with XP, and a machine with 98.

    On the Windows 98 machine, if you go to C:\Program Files\Plus!

    and if you take that whole Plus! folder, and put it into the Program Files on the windows XP pc, you will get all the Windows 98 Themes. (but then I had to get screensavers)

    So I went to C:\WINDOWS\system on the 98 PC and got all the screensavers and brought them over to the XP PC,and only the ones I listed worked, no clue why. The Themes worked fine.
