ADVERTISEMENTS

I was searching a way on how can we convert any screensaver of windows vista to make it work in win xp and I found some vista screensavers prorated for xp.

Windows vista offers some very cool screensavers like.. Aurora, Bubbles, Mystify, Ribbons.

Out of all these I like the bubble screensaver the most, all these screensavers looks awesome but the bubble screensaver is the best as it does not change the desktop background when it’s running. ( as shown in the image below )

How to Install these screensavers?

Unzip the downloaded .zip file and copy the .scr files of the corresponding screensavers in C:\Windows\System32 ( assuming C: is the directory where you have installed windows ).

After copying them you can easily locate them under the drop down of the existing screensavers in win xp.

    Hi…I got the screen savers installed and working. However, I cannot do any settings. It tells me “This screen saver has no options you can set” Is there something I forgot or can I just not do that?
