hmm... never heard of those file extensions. They're obviously not anything of
the ordinary. One other suggestion, maybe, is to find a screensaver creation
program, that maybe will make you sort of "unpack" the screen saver you have. I
know nothing about coding, so I can't even say if that's possible. Wish I'd be
able to give you a better answer.

| Troth,
| This is a screensaver I just bought. Did a search and found three files
| located in C: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 One is obiously the screensaver program.
| One of the others probaly contains the pics themselves. One says .msf and
| the other .wx1 if this is any help. It is the Stardust screensaver. Windows
| says it can't open the files.

| Well, it really depends... just because you installed the screen
| saver, doesn't necessarily mean that it would have a specific folder for it.
| Much of the older screen savers for Win98 and prior simply installed the
| scr file in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system folder.
| But, you can check for a folder with a name representing the screen saver
| under c:\windows or c:\windows\system or c:\windows\system32 or
| c:\windows\program files or simply the root c:\
|
| If you have a shortcut to the the screen saver settings in your START >
| PROGRAMS menu, you can right-click and do PROPERTIES and it should show you
| the location of the file.
