#OLD SCREENSAVERS WINDOWS 8#
If you use Windows 8 or Windows 10, copy the newly named Flying Aliens file to the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Rename the modified Flying Windows.scr file to Flying Aliens.scr. Once all changes have been made, save the file and open Windows Explorer. These are label captions so an extra space needs added to replace old character data.įor example, the label string below was changed from Number of Windows to Number of Aliens. Again, due to the shorter string length, inserting the extra space will "clean" remaining original string data and ensure the string text will render properly on the screen.Īlthough my copy of Flying Windows only had a single instance of a string padded with an additional space character, your copy could be different. Because our replacement string is one character shorter in length, an extra 00h byte value needs appended to each replacement to clear extra data and terminate the string.įor each instance found, examine the dump closely for instances of right-padding with a space (20h) character. Replace each instance of "Windows" with the word "Aliens". So, to make things consistent, search for all Unicode strings containing "Windows": However, installed "as is" the screensaver name and settings labels will continue to display "Flying Windows" - which would be confusing for a user to select in Control Panel. Ensure the string is null terminated with a 00h value:Īt this point - if saved - the screensaver will use the Webdings alien character and function correctly. Once found, click the right column and type "Webdings". Use HxD's Find feature to search for "wingdings" as shown below. Now, the screensaver needs an additional change to force it to use the Webdings font instead of Wingdings. This new value is 85 - hex value of the alien character. To illustrate this procedure, I chose the alien character, found in the Webdings font.īesides, nothing can fly through outer space quite like an alien.Īs with the smiley face modification, we will again change the Windows logo character FFh value to something new. Changing the Flying Windows screensaver to use a different Wingdings character is simple once you know where to make the change - but what if a person wished to use a character from an entirely different font? This too can be easily accomplished - albeit with a little more use of a hex editor. The big problem is that old printers were never removed from the print server, the IPs were re-used. There's a lot of them, which isn't the big problem. I just started a new job and am finding there's a lot of housekeeping to be done, including printers. In that Spirit, today debuts the first DIY Spark. Year now, and one thing is abundantly clear, Ricky Nelson was correct in his I have been writing Spark once every two weeks for over a

You powered on your TRS80 sequentially after the person before you did, otherwise you'd have a tape boot storm. Not that old :-), I started with TRS-80s in school and the whole class shared a single tape drive. I even put out a little "demo", as we used to call them, every month called the "Phreakers File" that would hand out virgin codes like 0488s that we hacked using war dialers and templates. We phreaked like crazy, hacked AT&T like crazy, hacked VMBs and took them over so we could record our own messages and give out uh."hacked stuff" you could say. I also ran a hack/phreak BBS on my 1200 baud modem (yes, I upgraded from 300 so my site would be l33t) in. That I could direct copy between two 3.5" disks was insanely cool. Dude, do you have any idea how cool that made me? Everyone still had nothing but a cassette drive or a 5 1/4 floppy. Now THAT thing was bad ass! Eventually I was able to get dual 3.5" floppies.
#OLD SCREENSAVERS UPGRADE#
Once I was able to upgrade I got a Commodore 64. I learned to program/code/whatever BASIC on a Vic20. I think it's awesome that some of us have been around so long.
