I know at one point I was going to use WinXScreensaver to do something fancy in work but I never got around to it. I also don't remember using it so it may have got pruned at some point.<BR/><BR/>I had a look on several places and archive.org looked promising for a while as it has historical copies of the website in question but the links for that particular file always gave me errors about technical problems (which you don't normally get when they just haven't mirrored a file). I don't know if they are having technical problems or whether they just don't mirror .msi's at all, though.<BR/><BR/>I'll have a look around but I can't promise anything.Ledowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737539988802985040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663099.post-31733245852314928132008-03-02T14:08:00.000+00:002008-03-02T14:08:00.000+00:00I know this post is old, but might you have the co...I know this post is old, but might you have the complete WinXScreensaver1.1-Install.msi package, from the dead site?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663099.post-86659099798679107202008-02-26T18:18:00.000+00:002008-02-26T18:18:00.000+00:00I have now added the link to a mirror of the file ...I have now added the link to a mirror of the file into the main article.Ledowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737539988802985040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663099.post-61072222871195490852008-02-26T12:46:00.000+00:002008-02-26T12:46:00.000+00:00As mentioned above, someone's gone to the effort o...As mentioned above, someone's gone to the effort of porting it natively to Windows... Thanks johnathon.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I hate to lose links so OF COURSE I have a backup. I'll post it and change the link as soon as I remember.<BR/><BR/>It appears, though, that the website is "there" but just not responding so it may come back up itself in due course.Ledowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737539988802985040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663099.post-32578533314781406202008-02-23T00:16:00.000+00:002008-02-23T00:16:00.000+00:00The link to the ZIP is no longer good.

It's just the Delphi runtime (which is odd because I didn't think the Substrate screensaver had been compiled in Delphi?), it's available on hundreds of websites (like <A HREF="http://www.david-taylor.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/software/runtime.html" REL="nofollow">this one</A> for free.<BR/><BR/>Unzip and put the necessary file into your system32 dir and run the screensaver again. You'll probably find that it will complain about some other file... follow the same pattern until you have all the files necessary to run it. If you can find out exactly what files you need, I'll post a list here and incorporate them into a download on this site.Ledowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737539988802985040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663099.post-85312949572146473532007-04-23T21:28:00.000+01:002007-04-23T21:28:00.000+01:00This doesn't work for me in XP.

Is there a trick other than putting it in the system32 folder?<BR/>It says it can't find VCL50.BPL. Any ideas? Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
