I have a screensaver that I used on Win 98 which I would like to use
on XP. I have installed it but it doesn't appear in the drop-down box
on the screensaver tab of Display properties.

If I right click on the screensaver icon in the Windows/system
directory, I can run, configure and test the screensaver.

How can I get it to appear in the selection list?

Peter,
You will need to copy the *.scr file from the W98 PC, and paste it to the following folder in the XP machine:
C:\Windows\System32

Then reboot PC. Be aware that the screensaver may appear slightly different in XP, than it was in W98.
