I installed my Screensaver but it does not appear in the list of Screensavers when I try to select it from the CONTROL PANEL in Windows. Why not?

If you are installing your screensaver on a work PC then you may need to get permission from the Network Manager before s/he allows you to put the files onto your system.

I downloaded the screensaver and it appeared to install correctly but I am getting either nothing appearing on the screen or else strange characters and rubbish appear on my screen - whats going on?

Sometimes file downloads and email message transfers get corrupted over the internet. It does not happen too often but it does sometime happen. The simple solution is to re-download the file or to have it re-emailed to you again. If the problem occurs again then contact the file provider.
