XP Screensaver?
 

I'm wondering if anyone has a way to get the Aquarium screensaver off XP for me? I have XP, but for some reason I don't have that Aquarium screensaver. Just seeing if there's a way. Thanks.

What aquarium screen saver? XP doesn't come with such a thing. All screen savers are .SCR files located in c:\windows\system32 and can usually be used on any Windows computer.

Yea, my gf's comp has it. So do most of the comps at even best buy, running the XP. I checked in the system32 folder. It's a program called "wpgldfsh". When you go to change your screensaver, the program is called aquarium. I just tried burning the wpgldfsh to a cd, but I guess her comp won't allow it.

Just email the file to yourself. It might be an XP Home screensaver because I know it doesn't come with Professional.

EDIT - Did some quit searching, seems that this screensaver comes with Windows Media Center Edition (MCE) and will only work with MCE. There apparently is a way to make the screensaver work in other versions of Windows if you know how to use a hex editor.

I sent it to myself, and came to find that it only works with XP media edition. Fuck that. I don't see why it doesn't work with XP Professional, but whatever.

I explained why it doesn't work with anything but MCE up above. :)

That screensaver is actually licensed software. Copying it to another computer is technically illegal.

Laws are meant to be broken, especially for fish screen savers.

The hands of guys who want aquarium screen savers were meant to be broken, too. :nope:

It comes in MS "Plus". It's an add-on. It also pulls alot of memory that you may not get back fully until you reboot.
