Screensaver not in list?

Installed a spinning guitar screensaver from here:
http://www.guitarcoach.com/downloads/screensaver.htm
but it doesn't appear in the drop down list in display properties. The SCR
file is in C:WINDOWS and can be run from there.
How do I get it to appear in the list to set timings?
I know this works in XP although it doesn't specifically say so on the site.

R-click on it and pick configure?

Thanks for the reply, tried that but the only options are sound and
password. Also copied it to ../system and
.../system32 where the other scr's are, restarted but still no good. Also
downloaded it again and re-installed, still not there.
This has worked on this same PC before, I can't understand why it won't now.
Only thing I can think of is that I believe Windows Installer was updated
along with other updates.
