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.

Pack or Windows 98).

C:WindowsSystem32 in case you’re using 32- bit Windows.
C:WindowsSysWOW64 – in case you have a 64-bit Windows installation.
This also works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 8.1. Microsoft Plus Themes and screensavers are in all of the early version of Windows from Windows NT4 to Windows ME. There was also a Microsoft Plus 98 which has many more themes. Here is how to get the screensavers back on Windows 7 and 8. You will need the following: A Windows 98 CD and a Microsoft Plus CD-To copy the files from. Resource Hacker. (To edit the Screensaver name so it shows up on Windows XP, Windows 7 and later versions of Windows.) Dll files from Windows 98 or the CD- WILDLB32.dll. WL32DLL.dll. Plus the screensavers you want to install and the screensaver dll file of the same name. Which can be found on the CD or in the Windows/System Folder on Windows 98. And the Screensaver dll file can be found next to the screensaver.
For Example if you want to install the Mystery Screensaver you need to copy the MysteryScreensaver and Mystery.dll
and so on. You will also need to edit the string value of the screensaver with a software such as Resource Hacker in order for the Screensaver to display the correct names in the list of programs before you copy them to the System32 Folder. Otherwise it will only show up as Wildlife32 and any other screensavers you have installed from Microsoft Plus will NOT show up on the list. For the other Screensavers Cathy,Doonesbury,Garfield,and Peanuts you only need to copy the Screensaver file from the Microsoft Plus 98 CD to System32 on Windows 7 or 8. You do not need to edit them. Place all of the Screensavers including the dll files you copied from Windows 98 in your C/Windows/System32 Folder on Windows 7 or 8 and do the same thing if installing on Windows XP. The screensavers will now show up in the drop down list on Windows 8 as seen here in the picture. Most of them work just fine as you can see here and in my video.
Here is Mystery Screensaver running on my Windows 8. Cathy Screensaver on Windows 8 also works just fine.

Most of the screensavers I tried from Windows 98 work on the later versions of Windows including Windows 7 and 8. The only ones that did not was Science and The 60's which kept on crashing and the high graphic ones, such as Organic Arts. But most of them work. So yes it can be done!
