   Heh. still have the win 3 version, the OS/2 2.0 version, and the win95 one... thanks for a new one- the wife ought to get a kick out of it after not seeing it for so long-- at least now the computers can spare the cycles with ease....

   I too have the old versions of felix. I prefer them because all they did was take up cycles (newer versions started calling home). Don't know which version this is in relation to when they started making changes, but when they started making THOSE changes, I stopped keeping myself updated.

   This reminds me of 2 programs I have on CD's from years ago, perhaps Win95? One is called Catz and the other is called Dogz. Both are cute.

    Thank you, Alianthia, it's a very cute screensaver. An important note - I had to run the screensaver using Admin mode - otherwise, I was getting a runtime error message.

    I mention this in case others may have similar problems. I have a Vista x32 bit OS.

    I know it is a bit different than this, but a few years back I was really wondering what ever happened to 'After Dark'. IT was a series of screen savers (some turned into games) that were very funny. I finally tracked down a set of CD's for them and was eager to get them on to see them again. Unfortunately, after I failed to get them going I found that a lot of others have tried too and have not been able to get them to work even with compatibility modes and/or DosBox. Anyone that remembers the the cow screen saver or the flying toaster .. that was them.

    Take care all!

    It looks like what you download is the same as what you run. It appears that the only "install" is to copy it to Program Files and then create 2 shortcuts. I had to run it in admin mode on my vista32 machine to get it to install. It's cute.

    If I fed my cat as often ast this guy does, I would REALLY have a fat cat!

    @Inas: I found a few versions on EBay when I started thinking of this. I quickly put a bid in on them hoping to get one....I won both LOL. Then it occurred to me that I never checked to see if it would work on newer systems. Somehow in my mind I just though it was a screen saver so why wouldn't it work. Oh, well I am sure someone somewhere will come up with something and I will hopefully find it! Lol BTW I always love the 'Bad Dog' one. When the screen saver kicked in it was a copy of your screen. A dog would chew up your folders, use the bathroom on them, and mess up your screen.. OH and bark at you. Then when you moved the mouse it would be fine. People that didn't know about it at the time would jump to the conclusion that their screen was really going to be messed up.

    Hee, hee! My games are meowing at me! (Yes, I found where to turn the sound off, just don't wanna yet.)

    Well..you see,first you have to spoil him little ,let him chase lots of butterflies,make him play with tiny toy cars,let him chase your mouse pointer and feed him lots of Felix ...in short make him feel at home...
    Um..and if that doesn't help ,choose 'StrokeMyFelix',read the instructions,press OK and caress his back or his white belly.

    Unfortunately I am not able to play this after installation. Once installed I get

    When I shut down I am told to install flash 6 or later.

    

    I have visited the macromedia site (now Adobe) and installed the flashplayer from there. That doesnt help. I never had a problem playing flash in my browser. Any help will be great

    Hi copmom, my daughter still plays Catz, and Dogz, they are now into their 5th incarnation and are still available from good games stores. We also have Babyz but that only plays on Win 98 and earlier.

    Check earlier versions of these game by clicking on them Catz, Dogz and Horsz

    MyFelix should run just fine on XP,Vista or seven.

    Then again I stumbled upon this message from the MyFelixDev Team (dated 06/24/2010)

    We are aware that some users have recently experienced some technical issues with My FELIX. We are looking into these as a matter of urgency and will be sure to let you know as soon as the problem has been rectified.

    I'm sure they're looking into the matter right now and will be fixing this asap.
    :)
    So,in the meanwhile, stay tuned...

    Yeah I have the same problem as prs. Even starting it in compatibility mode and as an administrator does nothing. Hopefully they fix it soon!
