Screen Savers

The screen savers here are compatible with Windows 95,98,ME, 2000, NT and XP. We have prepared screen savers for use with the two most common screen dimensions. Right click on the picture or link that corresponds to the screen dimensions you are using. Select "Save Target As" from the menu. The screen saver installer will download to your computer. Run the downloaded installer and the screen saver will install itself.

After the screen saver is installed you can configure its operation. Place your mouse cursor on an empty area of your desktop, click the right mouse button. Choose properties from the menu that appears. Select the Screen Saver tab. From here you can preview the Screen Saver, set the delay time etc.
