I've loaded a screensaver into my Windows/Desktop Directory, but when I go into the control panel settings to look for the screensaver I can't find it, yet it is still in my Windows directory. Why is this?

Screensavers need to be saved in the Windows/System folder not the desktop. Use Explorer/My computer to view this folder you will see many files. Some of them will have the .SCR extension. These are your existing screensavers. Transfer your new file to this folder and you should then be able to use it

davidprout -Thanks for that, I couldn't find any of my exisiting screensavers in my Windows/System file, instead they were all in the Windows/System32 file. Don't know what the difference is though. Anyway I've moved the screensaver into this file and my problem is now solved. Cheers m8!
