Sreensavers question

January 8, 2005 7:24 PM from

I'm not a complete beginner, but this is kind of a beginner's question. I just can't figure it out.

How/where do you unzip the screensaver zips now available from WC? I've tried unzipping to c:/windows, but that doesn't work. The image shows up in the settings dialog selection box, but if I select it, my computer just glitches (for lack of a better word), when I click to preview. Any ideas?

TIA

I haven't downloaded any of the screensavers from here, but if the file format is *scr it goes in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Otherwise, I'd ask the author.

Thanks, Essencay. I'll give that a try.

Yup, it worked. I was just putting the unzipped file into c:/windows, and that was wrong.
thanks again
