reinstalling screensavers and wallpaper from Windows 98 disk

by bob per Jun 16, 2007 1:58AM PDT

I have a new system with windows XP Pro and did not install screensavers and wallpaper from old computer. Is there a way to install these from my old 98 disk or does Microsoft have some sort of block to prevent doing it? Thanks

Wallpaper yes. Screensavers, no.

Wallpapers are simple bitmaps so just open up the .CAB files with any CABVIEWER (see google.com) and copy them to your machine.

The screensavers are best forgotten about.
