Haunted House Screen Saver

All I can say is that it appears to be the same as the file sizes are
identical.

Hi Mart

Butt in any time with that sort of information.
I thought there had to be a reason why it was disabled when upgrading
to XP.
I think I will pass on installing it.

'Scuse buttinski Alan, but FWIW, I've just tried installing the 'mystery'
theme on my WinMe box and it *requires* Desktop Themes Support to be also
installed with it. (Won't install without)

I have not attempted a detailed inventory - but it installed a whole host of
files, not least a stack of fonts! I'm not saying that it can't be
installed/modified for XP but it looks like it would require quite some
work - which may explain why it wasn't carried over to XP g

All the best (and good luck if you venture to get it to work in XP)

OK. Let me know if mystery.scr and mystery.dll are not the whole
answer and I will install the theme and track what it does and try the
files on XP.

Try mystery.dll

If that doesn't do it, then get back to me. I have never bothered with
adding such things in Win ME but I can experiment a bit in XP if it is
really important to you.

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
