Default Haunted House Screen Saver

Hi Alan:
Thanx for your reply.
I tried as you suggested.
I copied the Mystery.scr.disabled file from the C:\Windows\System
folder
to the C:\Windows\System32 folder and renamed it Mystery.scr
The icon changed to that with a pictue of a man with a hat but no face...
something like the Peter Seller's movie "Being There". If I select or
double-click
the icon, the screen turns black but does not activate any screen saver. Is
there
a related file that must also be moved, such as a dll ?

Thank you...

HI:
I just upgraded my folks PC from Windows ME to Windows XP Home Ed.
XP home does not have the Haunted House screen saver in its list.
I think that the screen saver file is called mystery.scr (but am not sure).
This file is in my C:\Windows\System folder but is disabled and titled
mystery.scr.disabled. How do I go about enabling this file and getting
my Haunted House screen saver back ? OR, what else do I nned to do ?

Thank you
