Im not sure bobby.. I have never seen a problem like this before.. Also most of the Windows 95 stuffs should be included in the Windows Xp Cd (if ur talkin about those one that came with when u installed) If u downloaded it, try contacting whoever made it or go to that site and ask them. (And your Screen saver should be inside System32 Folder (i think its 32 or 38 or somethin... C:\Windows\system32)

Good luck

I don't know anything that would help you, but would like to share this..............
When I "upgraded" W2k to XP, I had all sorts of weirdness. Some of it I wasn't even aware of, until I started over with a "clean" install of XP. XP is so different from the other OS's, upgrading and retaining your settings is not a good idea...IMHO
Just something to consider.
