Make sure the new screensaver is in the Windows folder so that it will appear on the
screensaver selection list.

Right click any blank space on your desktop.

a.. Select "properties"
b.. Go to the screensavers tab, you should see a drop-down list'
c.. Select the screensaver you downloaded.
d.. Click apply
e.. Ok

| Hi there. Have Vista 64 and have purchased a 3D screensaver off the
| net. Only problem is that I don't know how to get it into the
| "screensaver" list.
| Found the file in SysWOW64. Currently the only way I can get the
| screensaver to work is to "preview" it and leave running.
| Driving me bananas!!
| Would love you to death if you can help
| Cheers.....Pam
