Thanks Jacque for all that! Note that Microsoft has also developed 64-bit versions of XP and Vista — Johnny Castaway will not run under these operating systems!

  • How to run Johnny Castaway on Windows 64-bit. The biggest downside to the classic Johnny Castaway screensaver, which remains popular today even though it was first released way back in 1993, is that it will not run on 64-bit versions of Windows. This is due to the fact that Johnny Castaway is a 16-bit program, and while 32-bit versions of.

Johnny Castaway is a screensaver which is brought by Sierra in like 1992/1993. It's a 16 bit screensaver, which is really awesome.

Watch the screensaver here.

Okay, for some of the people this might be nostalgia, for people like me. This toturial works for Windows and Linux (wine). I made this one for Windows XP/Vista/7/8(.1). Probally works on Windows 10 too.

One problem is that it doesn't run on 64 bit systems, except if you do the following!

  • Download Screen Launcher and install it.

  • Download DOSBox and install it.

  • Download dosbox.zip and extract it to C: (you will get C:dosbox)

  • Start DOSBox for 1 time and in the 'Command Promt': type: 'exit'.

  • Goto: C:UsersYourUserNameAppDataLocalDOSBox and open: 'dosbox-0.74.conf' with Notepad or any other text editor you use.

  • Fundamentals of management 9th edition pdf. In this file edit:

    fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true

  • At the bottom of this file (after [autoexec]) put:

mount c c:dosbox

c:

cd windows

win runexit c:windowsscrantic.exe /s

exit

I assumed you extraced dosbox.zip to your C drive, if it is somewhere else just change the directory.

  • Now goto your screensaver settings and choose 'Screen Launcher'

  • Click on 'Settings'

  • Click on 'Browse' and select: 'C:Program Files (x86)DOSBox-0.74dosbox.exe'

  • Click on Preview, check if it works, if it works, you have done exactly everything right, and you should see the screensaver in like 5 seconds.
