Posted October 4, 200519 yr Hi. Read everything I can find on screensavers, which mostly has to do with XP; I have Windows 2000 Professional. When I click to download a free screensaver, it only saves as a .zip file. It doesn't matter if I save it to the C:\WINNT\system32 file. All of the other screensavers are preceded by "ss", i.e "ssbeziers," and the system recognizes it as such -- but with this one, it's just a random .zip file. Opening is no good -- it asks what application to open it WITH. Little help?
October 5, 200519 yr You need to extract the contents of the zip file, using something like WinZIP, and then copy the .scr file to the directory with the rest of the screensavers on the system. I haven't done it in a while, but I remember there being an 'install' item in the right-click menu of .scr files, that will register it for inclusion in the list of screen savers in the display dialog. -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?
