    If it is a standard screensaver file, it would work the same as a standard font or dreamscene file, just unzip it to your desktop or a location where you can find it, and double click on the file and it should install by itself. I am totally guessing on this, but doesn't hurt to give it a try.

    Whats RAM???
    Random access memory, just occurred to me taht you probably know what it is anyway, man im gullible
    screen saver might not be compatible
    if it has a ReadMe then read that, if not, go to control panel -> display, and select screen saver, then hit browse, then desktop, and then teh file, and then slect what it is, might want to extract it first though
    let me know if that doesnt work, good luck
