Default Screen Saver Questions

My new Gateway PC (WinXP MediaCenter Ed) came with an Aquarium Theme. Our
son & his children love the goldfish screensaver, which I have found
(wpgoldfish.scr)....& would like to put it on his WinXP HE. I'm wondering
if that is legal to do, &......IF so, do I need to copy anything besides the
..scr file?

Thanks,
Carol2

I dont think its illegal as they are free!

copy that .scr file and run in diff computer. if it asked for some dll then
u'll have to copy those too.
put them in system32 folder. u might need to register those dlls manually by
typing following in run dialog.
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\dllname.dll
and hit enter.
