Windows 98 Screensaver

190221 · Jan 14, 2017

Hello all,
I'm looking for a screensaver that was on a Compaq Presario 3550. The computer was running Windows 98 First Edition, and essentially, the screensaver displayed the text "Where do you want to go today?" and then displayed an image of a field or something. (Field is my best guess, could be something else.) I'm pretty sure it was either scrolly text like the marquee screensaver, or in faded in at the center of the screen. (my best bet is on the latter)

Thanks,

Made in 1995 so I guess it was win 98: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_do_you_want_to_go_today%3F

i can find the image but not a screensaver: http://f.fwallpapers.com/images/microsoft-where-do-you-want-go-today.jpg

Just watched two movies of all Win 98 screensavers - had forgotten half of them - but didn't see anything like what you mentioned. Guess it could be Marquee or 3d Text since the message it showed was an advertising slogan for 98.

yeah, not those, or any combination of the settings. maybe it's a first-edition only thing. i will look on a first edition cd. i have 98 SE on it now.

Could also have been part of the Compaq Presario 3550 propitiatory software package.

I was thinking that, and hoping not, because i have no way of getting the original files. (the quick-restore CD only launched the program on the recovery partition of the original hard drive, which is NWTBF.)

but why would a Compaq screensaver have the micro soft slogan on it?

Partnership. My first PC back in 1998 had a Windows/Dell screensaver. Compaq merged with HP about 15 years ago. Maybe an email to them would prove fruitful.

i will email them to see if they have a clue.
