Screensaver

[Zadonkey]

Hi there! I was wondering if there was anyway to get the screensaver to work. I have tried to just open it manually, but when I do that my screen will go dark like it is trying to start up, but then it just goes back to my desktop. Is there anyway I can get the screensaver to work so my nostalgia can be completely fulfilled?

Cheers!

Finally figured out a working fix workaround instead of copy the userdata folder everytime...

We are going to use something called "Junction Points"...

The directory structure below is in Windows Vista and later...

1. Delete the folder C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Insaniquarium
Don't worry, your save files are in C:\ProgramData\Steam\Insaniquarium instead

2. Open up Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
3. Copy, Paste and Execute this...

mklink /J "C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Insaniquarium" "C:\ProgramData\Steam\Insaniquarium"

It should work properly now, quite a burden to make an old game working, especially its poorly configured for modern OS and Steam support...

For other OS, follow this guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/

EDIT: Clarify some points. This NTFS feature requires at least 2000/XP and without elevated Admin privileges.

8 years later this fix still works on Windows 11! Thank you!!! All the nostalgia :)

I deleted the folder, but when I executed the comand

C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Insaniquarium" "C:\ProgramData\Steam\Insaniquarium

it didn´t work, so sad. Maybe windows 10 is not for this game

Tried the above on windows 11.
Deleted the folder and then in cmd after using the fix above, I just get " The system cannot find the path specified".

Anyone knows why?

From what I can tell mklink /J Doesn't like to create the link with nested folders. C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Insaniquarium will have to already be created. Just run mklink two times, once for userdata and again for cached.

mklink /J "C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Insaniquarium\userdata" "C:\ProgramData\Steam\Insaniquarium\userdata

mklink /J "C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Insaniquarium\cached" "C:\ProgramData\Steam\Insaniquarium\cached

If you deleted \PopCap Games\Insaniquarium, just make the folders again, then run the mklink command for the two subfolders userdata and cached

I don't know if ProgramData being hidden will affect this, but hope that helps.
