WHERE can I find a free download of the 98 Plus! screensaver called science fiction? It's the one with 4 orange objects floating and morphing into each other. The background appears to be a desert planet or something. I've tried searching everywhere for this! Anyone?

- Update: I found the screensaver and it's working on Windows 64-bit. See posts below. Most screensavers created for Windows 95 and 98 are 16-bit programs, which may still work on modern versions of Windows, like 8 and 10, but only on 32-bit versions, not on 64-bit. A 64-bit Windows will run 32-bit programs, but not 16-bit.

98 Microsoft Plus! Was an add-on package to Windows that added desktop themes, screen savers, sound effects, power-toys, and other assorted goodies for the home user. 95 also included Internet Explorer 1.0, which was not included in all Windows 95 distributions.

- Hello Celeste,Thanks for posting to the message board. I'm sure that screensaver can be found somewhere on the Web, but I'm also pretty sure that it would not work on your computer running Windows 10 64-bit.Update: I found the screensaver and it's working on Windows 64-bit. See posts below.Most screensavers created for Windows 95 and 98 are 16-bit programs, which may still work on modern versions of Windows, like 8 and 10, but only on 32-bit versions, not on 64-bit.

- Thanks, Rob! I have already downloaded and enjoyed the 'pipes' screensaver !! (which I believe is from Windows 98)I MUST have this screensaver! LOL!Celeste2 years ago
- Found it for you, Celeste! It's part of the Organic Art screensaver created in the late 90s by a company called Computer Artworks. I tested it to work on Windows 10 64-bit, but I'm still figuring out the best way to distribute it to you. I'll post an update soon.Skyrim special edition argonian mods. Skyrim Male Argonian Follower Mod Arexon the Argonian is a standalone follower plus quest mod featuring an unvoiced but fully written Argonian Battlemage. Along with the added follower, this mod contains new enchanted armor, weapons, and spells that may prove useful to the aspiring Adventurer on their quest to assist, or track down, the battlemage. Aug 05, 2020 This Mod adds 30 more male and female Argonian followers & npcs to Skyrim all use Argonian voices and can be found at various locations like Inns, Mines, Hunter and Fisherman camps. All of them are set to essential. They will level with the player up to 100. Jul 15, 2017 As a huge fan of the argonian race, I was disappointed with the lack of lovable lizard followers in Skyrim. While I understand this from a lore standpoint, I just want my argonians, dammit! This mod adds several argonian followers and spouses to the game without feeling intrusive, and makes changes to some vanilla npcs.

- Thank you, thank you!!!!Celeste2 years ago
- Hello Celeste,Please download this installation file I created for the screensaver. When you open it, simply click 'Install'. The screensaver will then automatically be installed, and the Screen Saver Settings panel should open. To improve the quality of the graphics, you may need to enter the Settings menu for the screensaver, toggle on 'Use Hardware Acceleration', and select the highest resolution where it says Display Mode.However, one computer where I tested it on had to have hardware acceleration disabled for the screensaver to work. See what works best for your computer.Hope it lives up to your memory of it!RobA moderator edited this post 2 years ago.Rob (Screensavers Planet)2 years ago
- Rob! You are AWESOME!! It's just like I remember! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!Celeste2 years ago
- You're welcome! I'm glad you like it.There are a couple more from the same series that I'll be adding to the site soon.RobRob (Screensavers Planet)2 years ago
- I'll check in for those!Celeste2 years ago
- Rob, do you happen to have the Plus! (I think) of the one called Science? It is a magnifying orb that floats over your screen. I too am running Win 10, 64 bitDena Albright2 years ago
- Hello Dena,I do know that one, and I think I have the screensaver file, but I haven't been able to get it to work on Windows 10 just yet. I pulled it from the Windows 95 Plus! collection, so it's a little bit older still than the Science Fiction screensaver.I'll tinker with it a little more, and will post an update soon.RobRob (Screensavers Planet)2 years ago
- I found another version on a Windows 98 CD, but I'm afraid it's just not going to work well on Windows 10. I had it working at one point, but the magnifying lens would bounce around the screen way too fast, and it would always end up crashing.Apart from a few classics like Mystify, Starfield and Flying Windows, it seems that none of the screensavers from the Windows 98 CD can be made to work on Windows 10. If I ever find a solution, I'll be sure to update this post.Sorry I couldn't be of more help!RobRob (Screensavers Planet)2 years ago
- Rob, thank you so much for trying.Dena Albright2 years ago
- A 'magnifying lens' Screensaver (like the 60s USA from the old PLUS! CD) that works on 64bit Windows would be so great. But it seems that Nobody can find or create one :(Stif2 years ago

After making your Vista into Windows 7 & XP into Vista, I had a little moment of nostalgia when I decided to install Windows 98 on Windows 7 via Virtual PC. It wasn’t exactly as easy as I thought, creating a bootable CD of Windows 98 on Windows 7 on a machine with no floppy drive was pretty geeky. Anyhoo … I got it done & listening to the welcome sound of Windows 98 brought back old memories, rebooting after installing every driver reminded me of what all we used to do back in the days. Life’s much simple now, Vista made it so, Windows 7 takes it further, which brings me to themes in Windows 7. After a long time Microsoft allows us to package Sounds, Icons, Wallpapers & Colors with ease & share them around. So I thought why not bring back those good ‘ol themes of Windows 98 on 7. Here are 4 ready made packages & resources for all 16 themes that were bundled with Windows 98.
The themes contain:
- Wallpaper
- Mouse pointers
- Desktop icons
- Sounds
- Color scheme
To install just double click on the file. The 4 packaged themes:
Click on the theme to download.
Download resources for all 16 themes:
Mirror links: Baseball, Jungle, Mystery, Travel
UPDATE: Free beer for Madata© for creating install packages for the rest of the themes!
If however you find that the cursors or the sound scheme is too noobish then you can choose the default schemes from the respective control panels:
Control Panel –> Appearance and Personalization –> Personalization will bring this screen:
For Cursor: | For Sound: |
Select Change mouse pointers from the left sidebar & select the Windows Aero (system scheme) | Select Sounds from the bottom options & select the Windows Default scheme. |
To change the icons:
Select Change desktop icons from the left sidebar:
NOTE: You can also disable the themes changing your Icons & Cursors by un-checking the “Allow themes to change …” in both windows as highlighted.
Update: TimTusk has been kind enough to extract the Screensavers and they are available for download. To use them you need to copy the files to:
- C:WindowsSystem32 in case you’re using 32- bit Windows.
- C:WindowsSysWOW64 – in case you have a 64-bit Windows installation.
