.With screensavers there should be a .ZIP which you can place anywhere on your hard drive.
.Extract the .ZIP folder to anywhere on your hard drive (I think... :wink: )
.There may be a 'setup' file in the .ZIP folder you have just extracted.
.If there is one, run the setup and it will install the screensaver on your PC.
.Now, in XP... go onto your desktop right click and go to "properties", then "screen saver" and choose from the list the screensaver.
in Vista...go onto your desktop, right click and got to "personalize", then go to screen savers" and choose from the list the screensaver.

Where did you download the screensaver, did they have any instructions on the site :?:
Hope this helps!

When there isn't a setup file just a file that when clicked starts the screensaver.

Then I assume you just drag the file that starts the screensaver into C:\WINDOWS\system32 (where the other screensavers are located) and then go into Properties etc and set it as your screensaver. Be sure to click the "preview" button to check if it works! :D

What does it do, does it do this (in quote)?
