fbcoacho if A is your fLoppy drive, run A:\SETUP. start with disk 1 and follow directions. it will self install. accept it as the default ss. if you don't like it. you can always change it to a different ss. make the short cut i indicated C:\GALLERY\GSSCIGAR.EXE/c you will get a little icon that looks like a stick indian, so you can change the appearance (roll up, roll sideways, sparkle in or out, etc)if you want.

I also got mine, Rick. Man ... you are generous to a fault!

I'm not one that is much into screen savers ... but I'm going to install it and give it a go ... and will let you know.

THANKS!

Rick ... I tried to install it, and it came up with an 'error' message. It told me: Error - File not found: A:@%^*$#& This file is required by Setup ...

I tried it several different ways ... and still no luck.

Very generous of him!...Unfortunately, I also got an error message on Disc 1 "Unable to load screensavers..Please try later" or something like that...Disc 2 was a little bent...I'm gonna go outside and enjoy a good cigar...had a wonderful Camacho Corojo Monarch earlier..They're aging nicely!

Rick ... I just think that a file needed by setup is not on Disk 1, on mine anyway. Window 98 wouldn't have anything to do with a missing file. I'll try again in a couple of minutes ... to see if it does it again.

The post I made above shows the file that is missing. It was jibberish ... I may have not got the characters exactly right, but that's basically what it said. Pretty weird.

fbcoacho -- like the computer is going to be in a better mood later. i have sent two new sets, one to slimboli and one to rookie. both worked in my win 98 and i will see what they have to say. so far much ado about ado.

Sorry Rick, but the second set if disks you sent ... gave me the exact same error message and wouldn't install.

I appreciate all the effort you went through.
