How to install screensaver

All the screensaver files on this page come contained within an installer program. First, choose which screensaver you want to download and install. Download the file then run it. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the screensaver. Below are detailed instructions.

(for this example we'll install the Maine screensaver)

1. When you run the EXE file you'll get a Welcome screen. Click on NEXT.

2. The next screen gives you some information about what the installation will do. In short, it installs the .scr screensaver file then it asks you if you want that to be the default screensaver. If yes, you have the option at the end of the install to open your system's Display Properties to set the default screensaver. Once you've read this window, click on NEXT.

3. You are now asked whether or not you want this screensaver to be the default for your system. Choose either YES or NO. The default is YES. Once selected, click on NEXT.

4. Next the install will inform you of what steps it will be doing. Click on NEXT. The program will now install the screensaver file into the proper system directory.

5. If you chose YES for default screensaver, the installation finishes with a screen asking if you want to open the Display Properties window. If yes, click on the checkbox. If not, uncheck the box and click on Finish. For instructions on how to navigate through the Display Properties window, go to the next section - Selecting screensaver from Display Properties.

6. If you chose not to have the screensaver be the default, you'll get a window where you just need to click on Finish.

Selecting screensaver from Display Properties

If you installed the screensaver, chose it to be the default, and selected on the "Finish" screen to open the Display Properties window, skip to STEP 4. The Display Properties window should already be open.

If you didn't choose to open the window, or later decided you want to change what your default screensaver is, follow the steps below to open the Display Properties window.

1.  For Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000 - Click on Start → Settings→ Control Panel

2.  For Windows XP (both Home and Professional) - Click on Start → Control Panel

3.  In the Control Panel window, double-click on the DISPLAY icon.

4.  In the DISPLAY window there are multiple tabs at the top of the window. Click on the SCREEN SAVER tab, if you're not already there. Click on the pulldown menu below where it says "Screen Saver" (below the picture of a monitor) and choose the appropriate cyberlights screensaver. In this case I chose cyberlights-maine

- Click on OK to accept the change.
