Windows 98 Themes on Windows XP and Vista

[Onarchegable]

thank you so much for such a great piece of nostalgia! that is truly lovely, to have this good old visuals back. For me it feels like I just got a part of me back, the one left in the childhood and early teenage. Feels like going to your mums and wearing the good old sweater again :) Bless you!

[HaLLowEEn000100]

Holy Shit dude it works ;* xD Thank You ;) ;D

[Gzero91]

In way it works for windows 7, I only got this for the wallpapers, sadly the themes aren't supported but the screensavers and wallpapers are what I got this for and I got just that.

[mostlylogical]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT REALLY WORKS, I FEEL LIKE I DID BEFORE VISTA WHEN WE GOT OUR 1ST COMPUTER, WINDOWS 98! if only there was a way to play windows 98 games on a vista. Btw im subscribing :D

[SNESIvan]

@emptyspotlight Maybe you can run 98 games with DOSBox/Virtual PC/VirtualBox/VMWare/Whatever you want to use.

[Chuggaaconroysson]

Fuck you I got a BSOD

[talldude123]

@Chuggaaconroysson Then something is wrong with your Memory, I had a BSOD on my old HP laptop too, incompatible RAM.

[whtetigr2]

yeah, how might i get these to work on win 7?

[SwampLord07]

Can this be uninstalled later?

[krupkeben]

YOU JUST MADE MY WHOLE WEEK,, LOVE THE INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER THEME

[krupkeben]

YOU JUST MADE MY WHOLE WEEK,, LOVE THE INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER THEME

[ScaryStewie]

These bring back some great memories from my child years...

[pat20105]

I love the cursors in that themes

[Krisando]

These aren't quite how I remember. Could you include the Windows 98 theme please. The closest seems to be classic, although much of it uses XP icons and such.

[anoniem1725]

is it just the like other themes that you click on it and clear or is it a in stall program?

[Sauber9]

Really great app. I came back to my childhood years too! My favorite themes were the Space with the Utopia sound configuration and Travel with that clock and propeller cursor. It was a bad idea that Microsoft had removed these great features from the newer versions of Windows, in my opinion.

[steak98]

This looks really cool! But 2 questions!

1. If I do this, will it effect ALL the computers on my network?

2. Will I be able to change back to my original theme (Windows XP)?

[www2nicksdomain]

@steak98 It won't affect other computers in any way unless you run the installer on them. You can always revert to the default Windows XP theme.

[MillerMeteor74]

I just commented. But now I have a question too. Do you have any plans to have the additional Plus! themes available as well? I'm particularly interested in the PhotoDisc theme.

Thanks.

[MillerMeteor74]

Awesome. I downloaded the file and installed it. It's great to have these themes again. I missed the Mystery theme so bad. That was my favorite. Thanks for this!

[K1Z5]

Doesnt work? ;o

I click on change theme and can't find them

[sonic40001]

it can crash your computer Xp?

[aggelos163]

how to change to normal??

[NWJHS]

Added to my favorites... I ain't no museum but I enjoy old things.

[CrouchingAsain]

thanks you! works great I missed the nostalgia of the jungle theme :D

[MrGame007]

It is possible to use the themes on Windows 7. You have to made some changes in the theme-file, but then you can use them as normal themes. I have done it for mystery, because I have not enough time for the others. If anyone wants my theme, please request it. You need to install this package for my theme. Maybee I will convert the other themes for Windows 7, too.

You can see my theme on my youtube account.

[WonderN123]

Thanks! Quick question: does this use up a lot of hard disk space?

[www2nicksdomain]

@WonderN123 Nope. It takes up about 17 MB; not much by today's standards.

[WonderN123]

@www2nicksdomain thanks for letting me know... I'm gonna do it on my eMachines... I have a lot of space left...

[storebror21]

Excellent - thanks very much for this. I've just installed it on my Windows XP machine and it works flawlessly.

[tko741]

It's people like you that make YouTube awesome. Thanks a lot! Love having these classic themes!

BTW, I'm upgrading to Windows 7 in the near future, any idea if it works with it?

[www2nicksdomain]

@tko741 Thanks for the kind words!

I haven't personally tested it on Windows 7, but others have reported it works. If it doesn't, I might be able to release an improved installer that would fix the problems.

[thedragoonknight]

@www2nicksdomain It works on Windows 7, I'm running the 64 bit version

[Classicwindows98se]

@thedragoonknight so am i, and it still doesnt work :[

[dx3100]

only the sceensaver will work

[zellzildjian12]

It brings back a lot of memories. Thank you man, you really made my day... =)

[MrsRaynedrop]

Will this work with Windows 7?

[dx3100]

@MrsRaynedrop if u only have xp on a virtual machine under 7 i think it will not work

[SUPERMonsterHQ]

I just want the Mystery screensaver. How can I JUST get it?

[kdsns]

Thanks for the fantastic package! I loved the mystery screensaver so i kept that one and deleted the rest. Thanks alot for uploading this

[Einh91]

Nice video but do you know any site where you can download windows 98 icon files to replace with your ordinary icons

[zonkeybob]

This sure reminds me of when I was a kid thx so much!

[D081]

nice :D thnx

[anomalousclouds]

Awesome download, man. After a few drinks on a whim I thought about all the old screensavers I used to have back in the day.

I've got them all again. It was a tacky era of computing, but awesome nonetheless. Makes me wanna play some Warcraft II. =)

Cheers again, mate.

[daxs18]

how i can delete the themes that i don`t like???, i just like the jungle and the mistery

[Headcrabman99]

@daxs18 dont use =D

[ElectronicHackz]

hm.....

[funkfanatic]

Great download! Brings back memories!

[XxMailonSundayxX]

now the thing is as ive seen a few comments on how to remove i think you should make a tutorial for the removal of these themes and screen savers.

i dont know why you would have downloaded and installed if you didnt want them but the only way is through the registry i deleted the fonts and themes and kept just the screens savers and deleted one screen saver but its only dont through reg editing for those of who want to remove

[oxnardcollegegirl200]

I downloaded these on my Windows Vista! Thank you so much!

[grand4theft4auto]

thanks so much! I really wanted to see all these screensavers again ^^

[holov9]

its not working on windows 7! :-(

[the1andOnlyCHASE]

This is awesome! Thanks! I've been looking for these themes for a while now. It brings back my childhood years.

[SMG59]

@the1andOnlyCHASE Yep i feel that same way

[cooldude22032]

my school has that

[galacticape]

OMG, the nostalgia. The installer works perfectly, and I'm extremely thankful for you bringing this stuff back. Awesome work, big thumbs up! And thanks again :)

[Dell0304]

can this be removed?

[DrxSlump]

Thanks for this, you rock.... however I miss the default Windows 95 & 98 themes ;/

[Translink1001]

what song is this



[shadownature]

What if I want to remove it? How can I do that?

[cd949604]

[UZI9MMAUTO]

Hey there ONE big problem with this windows 98 theme??!! How can I get it to CRASH like Windows 98 did?? LOL- Thanks! Im adding this to my site. (Video)

[teamcinquecento]

[suriv814]

[eduds6]

[Xheelal]

[linkben1]

All memories of the late 90's are commin back and I can't do it on my windoows 98 comp because it has no disk drive and I can't find a USB1 port external disk drive. :-(

[MrsRaynedrop]

I just downloaded these themes. I have been hunting for months trying to get the caterpillars back. I love watching them. Thanks so much for coming up with this. These were the best of all themes. Glad to have them again.

[lunareklipse13]

Thanks soooo much man! It works perfectly on Win 7 64 Ultimate. I looked EVERYWHERE for this, I can't thank you enough! x3

[narutofan12able1]

does it harm any thing of your windows stuff

[spretten]

sorry if i sound ignorant, but is there a way to get this screensaver without the whole theme?

[SpooxXx]

Huge thanks to you. Have been wanting Mystery screen saver for years!

Big, big thank you again

SpooxXx

[Postkontoret]

Very big thanks from Russia!

[FIYAon1]

Thank you very much, longtime wanted to use these on XP.

[ultimachocobo86]

I almost forgot about these! The old Win98 themes were indeed awesome.

Thank you for this. I've been wanting to change up the layout of the desktop for a while, but didn't want to keep the same style, as it were.

[melner]

[neolink70]

But yeah, no homo, just so we're clear.

[ethen24]

I copied your setup file to Windows 98, but when I run it, it says "Bad command or filename" but it still works.

Then, it goes through the extraction process, and says it's a success, but I still don't see the themes...

[cc28south]

[djtholen]

Hey what is the music in this video?

[www2nicksdomain]

Deep Sea Orchestra by Aalborg Fantasy Soundtracks. It's from the YouTube AudioSwap feature.

[SquirlKiller]

did you get these files directly from windows 98?

[www2nicksdomain]

Yes. Directly from a Windows 98 installation.

[AlexBestGTA]

[AlexBestGTA]

[MultiYippee]

[girlaph2]

Wow! Thank you so much for this! :3

[tnz1992]

[StaniaMarsh]

Oh nevermind, I just rebooted my pc and everything got ok.

I forgot to thank you. These themes brings me great memories.

[StaniaMarsh]

I have a problem: With some themes, I can't see the text of the main menu and the context menu. How can I solve it?

[JJ7x6Studios]

Please help me. My CMD is disabled HOW CAN I GET IT DONE WITHOUT IT ENABLED?

[huskobon]

[danielmihai1998]

I like these themes! The most enjoyed theme by me is Win98 theme.

[MasterofGuitarsolos]

can you switch back?

[SquirlKiller]

question: will this overwrite any files?

[PlanetGerwilly]

I can't wait to download theses themes I can't wait to get my memberies back! First reply to me I want my vista computer to stay on the safe side if I download theses old themes on my vista computer is it going to slow down my computer or it has malware in it? I need to know I just want my computer to stay on the safe side!

[www2nicksdomain]

No. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this installer as pointed out by several other comments.

[D081]

@www2nicksdomain works great on my win7. thanks a lot man! :D

nice job.

[3lsergio]

@D081 awesum how u got it 2 work?

it installed but i dont find it O.o

[D081]

@3lsergio

um idk. heh i just let it install. i use windows 7

[0987654321284]

@PlanetGerwilly it will actuaslly make your computer faster because the themes use less resources to run and are not as complicated as the areo themes

[Japix021]

Cool, thanks!

[Th3Shadow11]

THANKS M8 AWESOME! :')

[UberUberLeet91]

You, my man, deserve an achievement. I remember loving these screensavers as a kid and I was disappointed whenever XP and Vista lacked the win screensavers of 98.

[itsjimsfault]

Fantastic!  This takes me back! Thank you. I just downloaded it and kicked it off. All themes and screensavers are there.

[kat49242]

YAYYY!!!! THANKS SOOO much, I loved these, & missed them!  :D

[rami97farrah]

Thanks very much... lool i remember when i was a kid putting that scary theme lol.

[CrystalYiang]

thanx i was looking for this

[DizTorZionz]

u suck... u didn't explain how'd you install it.

[macospat]

I remember having these as a kid!

[grand4theft4auto]

@macospat me too!

[17lookatme17]

@macospat Me too! I miss Windows 98 remembering it!

[idcnidk]

Great thing u did there, but how do u uninstall it? (all of it)

[somainglove]

I get an error:

Unspecified Error

Is there a problem?

[somainglove]

I souupose you need 7-Zip Self Extractor

[somainglove]

But, it didn't change the Windows logo. I wish I had the old Windows logo, but I couldn't find it.

[tonythecomputer03]

Can this work on Windows 7?

[rattrap22]

this sit redirects to several adware and trojan sites

[SquirlKiller]

rattrap22: the link is only one site and the site does not have trojans

[tebailey02]

thanks!

[TheRings7]

Thank you so much for this!

[rdem1988]

Woohoo! It works! Thanks a lot. =D

[cjv325]

Worked great i was very happy... Till my colors started fucking up.. how do i delete it? Wheres the directory?

[tetee1987]

thank you i love it it works great it brings back the old days

[www2nicksdomain]

I wish YouTube would fix the comments. Those last ones were all replies to other people.

[saxman112]

Nice! These are working perfectly for me! The only screen savers that go a little bit too fast are Science, the '60s USA, and Windows '98. Other than that, this is awesome that can have this running on my Windows Vista Laptop!

[upgrade8]

cool man thanks!

[PrplPplEatr]

Wow awesome! I grew up using these themes =)

[MultiYippee]

haha ur running vmware tools that is a virtua machine

[www2nicksdomain]

Yeah. Snapshots come in handy when you're making an installer. That way you know when something works 100% every time.

[znpower]

good work!

[greenrangerv1]

trip down memory lane here, wow...to hear these sound effects again...

[tonybllr]

Hey. I downloaded it for my Vista but I can't get the screen savers. The themes work but the screen savers don't show up in the menu. How can I fix this?

[www2nicksdomain]

You can try to re-download and run the installer.

It worked fine on all my machines (XP-Win 7), so I don't know what else to say. Sorry!

[tetee1987]

where do i get this from where to download
