Before you install ANY program you download from the web, you should check it for viruses.  Here are some of the best checkers.

Most screen savers are self-installing programs.

Use your BROWSE feature to go to drive A:
(replace drive A: with whatever drive and folder your file is saved into) and click on the name of the file.

Once the file is installed
put your cursor on any empty place on your desktop.
Right click your mouse.

Select PROPERTIES.

This brings up a working screen with
BACKGROUND SCREEN SAVER APPEARANCE, SETTINGS
at the top.
Select SCREEN SAVER.

In the middle of the screen that appears next there are three choices
Screen Saver Settings Preview.

Select PREVIEW.

This will show you what the screen saver will look like. Let it cycle through a few times to get an idea of the different actions which will be available to you.

To stop the cycle just wiggle your mouse or tap any key on your keyboard.

From the same screen you can select SETTINGS to limit or expand any of the variations of your new screen saver. Click on any box to TOGGLE the attribute off or on. You can choose as many or as few as you want to use and change as often as you wish.

Go back to your former screen (if you went to SETTINGS). Just below the PREVIEW selection you will see small words saying

wait (A number) minutes.

Set the number to the number of MINUTES you want your computer to be idle before the screen saver begins showing pictures. When the screen saver is new you'll probably want to wait only 1 minute. As you become anxious to get more work done, you will probably inch that up to a higher number.

That's it.

Your screen saver is now ready to use. Just sit back and do nothing. 1 picture or 1,000 – your computer screen will become a radiant display of dazzling color.

For some nice screensavers of mine go to

There is a FREE athletes screensaver available
on Kate Morgan's site.
