Anyone know how to add a screen saver in WinXP. Use to
be able to do it in 3.1 but can't seem to make it work in
XP?

If you select the .scr file, and right click it, there is an install option.

Whoa, switching from 3.1 to XP? Big jump. I'm glad to hear this is your
only problem.
Anyways, screen savers are .scr files located in %systemroot%\system32
folder. (%systemroot% is your - you guessed it - system root folder. By
default, it's the WINDOWS folder, on the C: drive. So unless someone
changed the drive letter and the installation path, the scr files are in
C:\Windows\System32)

Go to Control Panel, then to Display, which will open a window entitled "Display
Properties". That window contains a number of tabs, one of which is "Screen
Saver". Go to it and follow the bouncing ball to select one for your monitor.

Good luck.
