Try it and see. Some may work - most may not.

Thanks Kenny. I'll give your Installer a try after I backup my system with
Drive Image and let you know how it worked.

Kenny,

One question. I noticed your reply on another discussion thread said to set
the WinXP Desktop Theme to Windows Classic for your Win98 Screensaver
download to work. I assume it will not disable other Display Themes if I want
to switch back and forth?

Do you have another site to download this installer? Because the domain the
installer is located in is expired.
