would like to extract those photos in jpeg from the screensaver
running on windows 98.

I have a screen saver that is made up of jpeg files. I would like to
extract those photos embedded in the screensaver.

I can think of a few ways of doing that, but an easy (but potentially
time-consuming)way would be this: open the screensavers config screen
Start... Settings... Control Panel... display, click 'screensaver'.
You now have a window with a 'preview' button which will activate the
screensaver on demand. Use it. When you see a picture you want, press
the PrtScrn key. This copies a picture of the whole screen onto the
clipboard. Now go to MS Word, or Paint Shop Pro, or any other package
which supports it, and press Ctrl-V (paste). You can now save the
picture. Repeat as required.

Hey good deal, penfold!  I've been wanting to do this too, and just
tried your technique.  Worked like a charm!  Many thanks!

Thanks for your answer. I found another way to do this using screen
capture software. I downloaded a software from imagespro.com that can
capture any rectangular area on the screen. What I did was went to
screensaver preview mode and then pressed a specific key that captures
the image of the rectangular area you choose and saves the image at
one click.

You can find lot of free download softwares that could capture the
screen at
