After Dark 4.0 under Virtual PC

A while ago one of the premier screen-saver packages was 'After Dark' - which was renowned for its 'Flying toasters' screen saver.  Now - I happen to own After Dark 4.0 - and quite liked all the screensavers it had.  Unfortunately it is not compatible with Windows XP - so I cannot run it anymore.  However - I have found that it runs under Windows 98 on Virtual PC:

After Dark 4.0 under Virtual PC   After Dark 4.0 under Virtual PC   After Dark 4.0 under Virtual PC

While I will admit that this is exceedingly pointless and foolish - I have now installed 'After Dark' inside a number of my virtual machines that are capable of running it.

Cheers,
Ben

BTW - I have found a couple of sites that claim to be able to get After Dark 4.0 working on Windows XP - but none of them have worked for me.

Ben, why not run your favorite VPC as a screen saver... Make it go fullscreen and there you go!
