Just drag the .scr file to: C:\WINDOWS\system32

Make sure it's a legit screensaver, and not one of those virus-laden programs.

Vista screensaver? is it made for Vista, or is it made to resemble the screensavers that comes with Vista?

You have to rename the file before you extract it to windows 32 [ IE. windowsvistaprofessionalblack.scr has to be renamed to sswindowsvistaprofessionalblack.scr]just right click on each of the 3 files and click rename.Then click your right arrow key so you don't have to rewrite the file name,then hit the left arrow and and go to beginning of the file name and type ss

Then just extract the file to c:\WINDOWS\system32 enjoy they are nice ss
