Hi

Put the new screensaver file (.SCR) into the %systemroot%\system32 folder.
You then should be able to see the screesaver in the drop down menu.

You may need to right-click the *.scr file and select Install.
And if that does not solve the problem try renaming the *.scr
file using a short file name (8dot3 with no extended characters).

Note. You can quickly open the folder: %SYSTEMROOT%\system32
by clicking Start, clicking Run, typing the following command and
clicking OK:
