Channel Screensaver On Windows 8.

The Active Channel Screensaver that was in Windows 95 was in every version of Windows right up to Windows ME. Then Microsoft dropped it from Windows XP and later editions.

But you can get it back by copying the screensaver from Windows 95 or Windows 2000 onto Windows 8. 

Channel screensaver works in every later version of Windows I have tried it on but not Windows 7. I don't know why that is. But it is working on Windows 8 and also Windows XP and Windows Vista.

But was dropped in Windows Vista and replaced with Windows Mail.

Through it is possible to get Windows Mail working again on both Windows 7 and 8 this was not the case with Outlook Express. At least I had thought not.

Until now that is. When I came across this post on a website which the author of the website Wicky Hue explained that Outlook Express can run on Windows 7 and 8.
