Usually a screensaver download file at WinSite contains the screensaver itself and a "Readme" file. Screensavers end with .scr. Once you open the file, all you have to do is place the screensaver in a place where your PC can find and use it. Normally, this means putting the .scr file in c:\windows or c:\windows\system.

To use a new screensaver on your PC with Windows 3.1 go to "Control Panel" and click on "Desktop". The screen saver section is the third box down. Just click on the screensaver you wish to use. With Windows 95/98 go to "Control Panel" and click on Display. Click on the ScreenSaver tab to choose the screensaver you wish to use.

Occasionally, screensavers come with an uninstall program. This is the best bet for removing a screensaver from your PC. If it doesn't, don't worry. You can just go to c:\windows or c:\windows\system, find the screensaver (the .scr file) you want to remove, and delete it.
