ok so i downloaded a screensaver (in .scr format), and placed the file,
together with the .avi file that contains the actual moving image, into the
/system32 folder .... but i don't get the screensaver as an option in
display options thing in control panel .... anyone have any idea why this
should be, and/or any tips on what i could do to fix it? many thanks for
any tips, pointers, urls etc!
 
Hi Nick,

General checkpoints:

Here are some examples:

Marine Aquarium 2.scr > rename it to > MarineAquarium2.scr

In the registry, screensaver will work correctly if it is listed as so:
c:\windows\system32\marine~1.scr

Screen Savers do not work correctly if listed as so:
""c:\windows\system32\marine aquarium 2.scr""
