Download Windows Vista Screensavers For Windows XP
ADVERTISEMENTSWindows Vista has some lovely screensavers like Aurora, Bubbles, Mystify and Ribbons which you will not find in earlier versions of Windows like Windows XP.
Now you don’t have to upgrade to Vista to run any of these Vista specific screen savers as these Windows Vista screensavers have been ported to run on Windows XP or even previous versions like Windows 2000.
You can download the screensavers using the below link and then unrar the .scr screensaver files in your Windows installation directory. You can find the instructions to customize the various settings of these screensavers in the text files attached with each Vista screensaver.

I know a bubbles screensaver like vista bubbles but named flowBubbles.
flowBubbles can run at xp, win2000 and win98.
it can place picture into bubbles
in all I feel it better than vista bubbles

How do you use the settings? I tried doing the DWORD Values in the registry but it doesn’t work. Can you please explain how to use the settings? or how to write them into the registry? THX.

got “Unspecified error encountered” message
i bet u have ever installed desktop enhancement like:
vista transformation pack
or
vistamizer
or
something like that
that programs mess up with winXP file system
the solution is to reinstall/fresh install windows again to get rid those error message when enjoying Vista Screensaver on XP
i said this because before i install those vtp/vistamizer, all 4 screensaver work without glitch
after i install & uninstall vtp/vistamizer, only bubble works, the other 3 screensaver gives me those error message when activated
