screensaver

This is a really unimportant question, but I was wondering how I can get the screensaver I just downloaded to work on my computer. From the change screensaver menu, I am only able to select from the basic screensavers, and the one that I downloaded is not an option because it is in "my downloads" folder, and I don't know what folder the other screensavers are saved in. Thanks,
Nate

Hi

Put the .SCR file into the %systemroot%\system32 folder - then try to access
it again from the screensaver menu.

In addition to what Will stated, if the screensaver comes as an installable package (if it is an
..exe file), try to run the file to install the screensaver. The screensaver should then be
automatically installed to the appropriate directory.
