Yeah that's pretty weird to me. Whether it was a compatibility issue, intentional block out, or what. Clearly major enough to last this long nonetheless.

easiest thing to do in these situations is use an old laptop or desktop that actually has a pre-NT OS running
you may be able to get older programs running using various tips and tricks but 16-bit has been abandoned as such so, support is lacking

A little update. The machines in question have been upgraded to 64 bit Ultimate edition and both have Microsoft Virtual Machine with XP 32 bit SP3. Any way to port the installed files from them over to the 7 environment? Or even make the 2 work in tandem so my screen saver from XP pops up instead of the one in 7? If not, then I must admit defeat in this matter...

if it's a windows 3.xx program (16 bits), it doesn't have registry keys. registry did not existed in win 3.xx
Also, it's a very complicated trouble for a very simple program (it's just an old screensaver). Maybe you can ask to someone to write a screensaver similar to that one...

If I remember right, when a Intel CPU, or AMD CPU is put into 64-bit long mode, it can't execute 16-bit software unless reset..

Plus those old sonic screensavers (I had them on my Pentium PC like 10+ years ago) must be like 640x480. Good luck with it.

Can't you rip the pictures from a Windows 95 installation in VMware into a format like BMP or similar?
