No, nothing special. Depenting on what OS you are running, load the file the folder where Windows has your screensavers. ![]()
I don't know where they're put. I have windows Vista 32 bit. I don't know even where to start looking! can you help?
If it is a zip program unzip with winzip or equivalent program 7zip is free, to reveal a *.SCR file.
Place that SCR file in your windows or windows\system32 folder (directory) - double click the file first to check it works, placing into the system32 directory is supposedly slightly better.
Set as active screensaver as normal, delete the *.SCR file to delete the screensaver.
If it is an EXE double click and follow instructions, setting any paths as instructed.
******If you ever get 64 bit OS the SCR goes into the windows\sysWOW64 directory******
as long as they have a file extention of .scr you can either put them in c:\Windows folder
or c:Windows folder\System32 folder
I have all of mine in the c:Windows folder\System32 folder
(beaten to the punch)
Interesting about the 64 bit, I am going to Win7 64 very soon! Thanks!
ok, thank you. I'll give it a try!
that will pretty much do it. ![]()
