I recently installed Alky For Applications 1.0 so that I can make my Windows Vista Screensavers usable with Windows XP... at least, that's what I thought ;) Alky For Applications comes with a nice manual... Actually, it's not worth the name manual as it doesn't explain anything?! I installed Alky For Applications on Windows XP, including all prerequisites... and then what?! I'm completely puzzled. I have my Windows Vista installation disc lying around, I already copied several SCR-files from a Windows Vista machine, but I wouldn't have a clue what to do/what I do wrong. Since the documentation is so poor and because I can't find anything on the internet regarding this, the only thing I could do really was simply right-click on one of the SCR-files and choose to patch them with Alky For Applications... but after that I've done this, the Windows Vista Screensavers don't work on Windows XP?! Getting very annoyed with this; need help! ;) Can someone give a tutorial?

For some reason, the copied SCR-files were corrupted. Re-copied them from my Vista installation, patched them using Alky For Applications 1.0 and they all work fine now.

So everything is peachy then?

It actually works?

I haven't seen any updates for Alky since late August. Its like they vanished.

I can guarantee there will be another alky for apps update, Rafael will have most if not all the vista games working on XP (even Texas Hold'Em)

Yeah, works like a charm :)

So Halo2/Shadowrun work on XP with DX10?

I wouldn't know. See the title of this topic: Alky For Applications 1.0, Windows Vista Screensavers ;) I got the screensavers to work properly. I haven't tried to get other software working using Alky For Applications 1.0.
