doom3 Posted April 4, 2006 I just bought the Doom II Screen Saver on ebay and I can't get it to run on XP. It is really weird, it installed just fine, but when I double click the exe, it doesn't do anything. The file it made in the windows folder says it is a screensaver file but it does not show up in my display properties. Does anybody else have the screensaver and got it to work on XP? Thanks 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted April 5, 2006 it's probably a crappy win16 screensaver. those are the worst. 0 Share this post Link to post
doom3 Posted April 5, 2006 EarthQuake said:It won't run on XP. Are you sure? The guy said he got it to work on Windows 2000. I hope there is a patch out there somewhere. Just incase anybody doesn't know what screensaver I am talking about, here's a pic: http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8199/screensaver5kz.jpg 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted April 5, 2006 I have that screen saver. I bought it years ago from a bargain bin. I haven't tried to get it running under XP, but believe me, if you don't get it running, you're not missing much. You'd be better off with something like DesktopDoom. 0 Share this post Link to post
doom3 Posted April 5, 2006 I tried to download it here: http://www.doomworld.com/deskdoom/ but the link is broken. Is there another place to get it? edit: I found version 1.01, which I think I would like better than 2. But, I'm having trouble installing this one now. The install file asks for your doom directory and your windows system directory. I am pretty sure windows/system, windows/syustem32, or just /windows/ should be the right folder for XP, and for my doom directory, I tried my regular doom 2, zdoom, and prboom, but none of those work! I unzipped everything into all of those but it still gives me an error. Has anyone gotten this one to work on XP? 0 Share this post Link to post
