They have ". Double clicking such files will probably get you nowhere unless you are well prepared. The third category is represented by files with names ending with ". Activating such file usually launches the screensaver. That's not bad. At least you can see what it's all about. But this way it won't appear in the list of available screensavers that the operating system starts if your computer goes to rest. That is, you have to use a little trick if you like the screensaver.
Now that the reason of our problems is a bit more obvious, I almost hear your question. Once the self-extracting packages are the easiest to install, why just not to stick with them? Okay, you are right.
It makes a perfect sense. But you forget one important thing. Screensavers are created by programmers. And programmers differ from other computer users in that they see everything from their very specific and technical point of view. It's not a problem for them to extract files from ZIPped packages as they work with them very often. That's why they create screensavers and put them on download sites in the form that is hard to install for you. But don't hurry to blame them.
They mostly do it unintentionally, not because they hate people who can't handle ZIP archives or bare screensaver files.
I know it because I am one of them. Thanks to the people who provided me with their feedback. I really don't see any reason to hurt those who use their computers as tools or source of entertainment. These people don't have to know all technical aspects. I hope more and more screensaver writers will understand this and will make their screensavers easier for you to install. Part 1. Download the screensaver, which should be in the scr file format. Open the Run dialog.
Open the System32 system folder. In the Run dialog, click OK. Install the screensaver file. Drag the scr screensaver file into the System32 window to relocate it into the System32 folder. Part 2. Click Personalize in the context menu to open your Personalization settings window. Click Screensaver in the window to open the Screen Saver Settings dialog. Expand the combo box in the dialog to display your installed screensavers.
Part 3. Locate the screensaver file that you had previously moved into the folder. Inside you will find the install Exe file something similar to above.
Now that you have downloaded and extracted the installer, you will run it and install the screen saver. When you start the install you will get a window that may look something similar to the one above. This verifies that the program was published by us, Digital Dimensions. The next par twill require you to accept the software license agreement.
You may then be asked select a file location for the install. The installer when then tell you it is ready to install, if there are any conflicting previous versions running it may ask to kill those first before continuing. It feels just like the old days—the only thing missing is a CRT monitor.
