Installing Screensavers

[GrannyRosey]

I chose all my screensavers and they are in the screensaver box. When I go to control panel and click on personalization I can't get the screensavers to the desktop background. I tried to copy the screensavers to my pictures or someplace else which is how I did it before but I can't do that either. Can someone help me? I have spent all day on this.

You could search for .SCR files and note where they are. Are they not in your C:\Windows\System32?

Go to Computer > Right click C choose "open" > Windows > System32 > en-us. Then move your screensaver to there. You may have to change the file type from .scr to .scr.mui

Welcome to the forums by the way!

Or..... if you haven't yet, just download them to your desktop, then right click , choose install and then Windows will do it for you.

Hope this helps.

Mate just go to an empty desktop screen right click anywhere on it and choose Personalize you should get a screen come up like in my pic.
