Windows 10: SCR missing support files

Hi everybody. I have a screensaver from way back (Win 98 days) that I really like and am trying to run in Windows 10. It is a screensaver based on the First Person Shooter game called Unreal and even includes sound. I have the SCR file and it does seem to install but when I test or preview it, a dialogue box pops up telling me that certain support files are missing. I have no idea which files they might be. I had the same problem in Windows 7. Anyone want to tackle this problem? Thanks in advance

How do i change the file association for SCR files


Hi,
I use files with an SCR extension to store text data. For me SCR means script.

I would like it so that when I double-click on this file, that it opens with notepad (or something similar).
But this file is registered as a screen saver. And I cannot change the file association.

I have tried "Associate a file type or protocol with a program". I can select NOTEPAD but the "Current application" remains as "Unknown application". And in my folders, the file type remains "Screen saver". So this option does not work.

I have also tried adjusting the registry entry regarding "scr" files. Or removing the registry entry. Neither works.
And I also don't get the "right click / open with" option.

So how do I change the file association of scr files? any suggestions?

Thanks

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

• Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
• Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
• Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
• Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
