How Do I Install a Screen Saver on IE 7?

Question

OS is Vista. I can't find the screen saver download. Just one of the standard MS ones, nothing fancy or from who knows where.

Answer 1

The screen saver has nothing to do with IE. IE could allow you to download one, but that's just about it.

Normally, on Vista, all your screensavers are located under c:\windows\system32. They end with a .SCR extension.

To download one, simply find a .SCR screen saver that you like and put it in that directory. They, select it in the screen saver window.

WARNING: screen savers are actually PROGRAMS. Don't install ANY screen saver or you might get a virus. Make sure that you get it from a trusted source.

Good luck!
