Installing new screensavers...

So I downloaded this screensaver and...I don't know what to do. I extracted it, and it has this notepad file with a ton of strange characters...I expect I'm supposed to put that somewhere? It actually says "This program must be run under win32" At the very top

uhm...what do I do with it?

Probably shouldn't be a notepad file. Notepad files arent' executable.
Can you post the link to where you got it?

Well, technically its a DWGtrueview file (some CAD thing) but it opens in notepad.

It says they are click n play icons but...they aren't.

I downloaded the file.

When I click on the zip file there are two files with icons that are like an application of some sort. When I click on it the screensaver pops up. As soon as I move my mouse it goes away just as a screensaver should.

a quick google found on this type of zip file there is not an extract file so you need to drag and drop it anywhere in your "windows" folder. Then it will appear in the list of available screensavers.
