Hi, Ronnie C. According to: J M Raymer has made a Windows Vista compatible version of Johnny Castaway, and he’s uploaded it to Easy-share for us all to use.

Johnny Castaway, the world's first story-telling, screen saver cartoon. Myscript stylus linux. 3.5' Floppy Disc. Microsoft OEM Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, 1-Pack, DVD.

Here’s the link: “It is a simple Winrar-made installer – just run the file and set your screensaver to ‘Screen Antics’.” 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! Since there is a version that works with Windows Vista, it is very likely that version will work with Windows 7 unless you have a 64-Bit version.

If you decide to install the version for Windows Vista, I strongly encourage you to first create a restore point. If it does not work, you may want to try compatibility mode. Information for determining whether you have a 32- or 64-Bit OS, how to create a restore point, using themes and using compatibility mode are included below in Reference Information. Reference Information: To find out if your computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following.

How to run Johnny Castaway on Windows 64-bit The biggest downside to the classic 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 Windows have built-in compatibility for 16-bit applications, all modern 64-bit versions of the operating system only support programs that are 32-bit or newer. As a result, the growing number of Windows 64-bit users are unable to install and run Johnny Castaway out of the box. Thankfully, a Reddit user going by the nickname ztjuh has come up with a similar to our workaround that allows the installation of, but designed specifically for Windows 64-bit, allowing these users to enjoy Johnny's antics on their modern computers without needing to run virtual machines.

How it works In our tutorial for Mac OS X, we explain how to use the Wine software to emulate a Windows environment. The DOSBox application that is used in this method is similar in that it allows us to run old MS-DOS applications on a modern version of the Windows operating system.

Being able to start Johnny Castaway on Windows 64-bit via DOSBox is one thing, but we will also need to turn it back into a screensaver. To accomplish that, we will download and install the Screen Launcher utility, which allows you to run any program as your screensaver, whether that's a web browser, PowerPoint presentation, a video or, indeed, DOSBox. The process we describe below has been tested to work on Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), but should also work on other versions of the OS, such as Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10. Please note that this method does not allow the use of DOSBox for running programs other than the Johnny Castaway screensaver without, in fact, breaking the screensaver set-up. Install DOSBox • Head over to the and get the latest version of DOSBox for Windows. • Double-click the file you downloaded to start the setup program, and follow the on-screen instructions to install DOSBox onto your computer.

• When the installation of DOSBox has successfully been completed, a DOSBox icon will be placed onto your desktop. Double-click it to make sure DOSBox is working, then type 'exit' on the command line and press Enter to close it again. Download the dosbox.zip package ztjuh created a ZIP container file that includes various third-party programs that are required to get Johnny Castaway up and running. The original screensaver is also included, which explains why we do not need to download the screensaver itself in this tutorial.

• Download the file to your computer. • Locate the file in your Downloads folder and double-click it. This will open the archive file in the Explorer if your version of Windows has the built-in capability to open and extract ZIP files without a need for third-party software. If your installation of Windows does not support opening ZIP files, you will need to download and install an additional application such as to extract the contents. • Extract all contents of the ZIP file, including the main 'dosbox' folder, to the root of your hard drive. For most users, this will be 'C: ' (without the quotation marks).
