What piece of Software?

Screensaver install

October 12, 2006 6:12 PM from

I,m pretty new to computing and even newer to WinCustomize Browser. I've managed to download and apply various items but when it comes to screensavers I'm able to download them but not apply them. The apply button just stays in the background. Therefore I feel that I need some sort of software to fix this but when I look through the software that is available there is nothing to indicate that it works with screensavers. Can anyone point a naive fool in the right direction?
Cheers Schemie

If the Screen Saver comes as a .zip extract the contents.

If once extracted or it downloads as a .EXE just double-click to run the file. If it's a .SCR then you'll have to put the file in the proper directory... C:\Windows\System32. After you have done this, right-click your desktop > properties > ScreenSaver Tab > select the installed SS.

Aaargh! Why couldn`t I just be told that in the download. Or include a simple readme.txt

Took me ages to figure this out..well half a day, in-between breaks at work, but still.
