The full themes, including the screensavers, start in the Win98_50.cab file and go through the Win98_68.cab file. Sure enough, I found the files I needed in the CAB files in C:\Windows\win98. This was a stopper for me for a bit, until I remembered that my old Dell laptop that I now use only for travel, since its so old that its not a huge deal if it gets broken or lost, is running Win98. The nicer Win98 "Plus!" screensavers require you to have access to either a machine running Win98 that has the CAB recovery files stored on it, or have a Win98 installation or backup CD. It isn't extremely easy, but it is doable:ġ) First of all, you actually need the screensavers, obviously. However, last night I gave it another Google try, and came across the solution here and here (more discussion on the themes here). I'd pretty much accepted that they were never going to work on XP machines. The conventional wisdom was some of the old Win95/Win98 ones just weren't compatable with XP, even when run in "compatability mode".
For years, I've been wondering how to get the old Windows 98 Plus! screensavers to work with XP I especially liked the "haunted house" one titled MYSTERY.SCR, but simply running it in XP results in a black screen.
