Hello! Im trying to "import" an old screen saver I had in windows 95, "Mystery". I have found mystery.scr and mystery.dll, imported both on a floppy, but all I get is a blank screen. Any ideas anyone? SPinal

It could be that your memory is too fast to support the old OS and Plus. If you load your computer with windows 95 OS first then upgrade to 98 with fast memory on a motherboard Plus is bypassed. If you have Plus on 98, leave it alone, if you want to install it on 98, don't do it. I would imagine the same is true for 2000.
Summary: Hi, the screen saver has been set for password protection to lock the console. The problem that I am having is that the console does not always lock itself when the screen saver goes off. I am not su...
