Does anyone know how to get the Bubble screen saver that |
|
comes with Vista. I love my Windows XP but I don't know why I can't have that screen saver without upgrading to Vista. I've downloaded from several sites but always "error encountered" bouncing around on a black screen. Any advice is really appreciated.

1. I assume the file format may require a different program to be used as a screen saver. You may need |
|
MS new flash player (silver something) or convert the file to a format used by XP.
I haven't done any research but MS spends a lot of money locking things up to a unique product license.

Unfortunately their link for the download is the first one that I tried over and over again. One day, if and when I upgrade to Vista, I'll be able to enjoy it. But until then I guess I'll just have to get over it. :(
