Mann på øde øy Skjermsparer

[Elyas Machera]

For noen år siden hadde jeg en tøff skjermsparer.

Det vare en mann som gikk rundt på en øde øy, og sa og gjorde kule ting.

 

Er det noen som vet hva jeg snakker om og som vet hvordan jeg kan få tak i den?

btw, rettighetene er kjøpt opp av http://moresavers.com, og folk maser om Johnny Castaway 2.0, siden screensaveren nå er 10 år

 

However, there are problems getting Johnny to work under Windows XP. Although the install program seems to work, Screen Antics doesn't appear on the list of screen savers. It appears that XP will only run 32 bit programs as screen savers, and poor old Johnny has only 16 bits! You can run Johnny as a program ? for example, put an icon on your desktop pointing to C:\windows\scrantic.scr ? but not as a screen saver. I do have reports of people successfully running Johnny as a screen saver with the Professional version of XP (thanks to Ray Gillespie).

 

WinXP Pro fix

 

Joshua Kite has provided us with the following procedure to get Johnny running under Windows XP Pro. You could try this with the Home Version, but I?ve no idea whether it would work!

Start with johncast.exe (ie not the version from screensavers.com).

Click to self extract.

Set ?setup.exe? ?properties\compatibility? to win 95.

Run ?setup.exe?.

Locate scrantic.scr (default is c:\windows).

Run Compatability Wizard on it, remembering to specify ?all files? in ?browse? explorer window. Set to Windows 95 or 98 but don?t bother with colour depth or screen res settings ? they make no difference.

Finish with wizard ? let it search and then swear at Microsoft.

Right click on scrantic.scr and select ?install?.

Right click on scrantic.scr and select ?configure?. ?adjust? to taste.

Although it won?t show in ?screen properties\screensaver? johnny will now do his job ? wait and see.

To put Johnny away, select another screensaver.

To resurrect Johnny, repeat steps 4; 5; 8; 9. XP will remember wizard settings.

 

Johnny will use whatever timeout was set previously in ?screen properties\screensaver?. Although the value is dimmed out (because the dialogue box above shows ?none? selected as screensaver), it is still active. To modify it for Johnny you must change it with another screensaver selected and apply and then reselect Johnny, or XP will kick him out.

 

Joshua points out that his installation of XP Pro is an upgrade from XP Home, and he has some evidence that there are differences in the system directory structure between a ?never anything else? and an ?upgrade? XP Pro installation. We don?t think this should affect Johnny, though.
