    If you want to install the screensaver first of all see information about installing a screen saver, on the Help that came with the screen saver that you would like to install. You will be able to uninstall screen savers that you have installed, but the screen savers that arrive with Windows cannot be uninstalled. If you upgraded to Windows 7 Home Basic or Windows 7 Starter from a previous version of Windows, you be able to no longer right-click the desktop to alter your screen saver plus other appearance settings.

    To Change the Screensaver Settings you first have to hit on the Settings button and do the adjustments to the setting to what you like. But keep this in mind that not every screen savers will have settings accessible for them. If accessible, then change the screen saver settings to how you want. And after that press on OK and your screensaver setting will change according to you.

    To Preview a Screensaver hit on the Preview button to start the chosen screen saver. Just press a keyboard key or move the mouse to stop the screen saver preview. After that set your screen saver timeout period for how many minutes you would like for how much idle time have to elapse before the screen saver is launched. Decide if you required to turn the screen saver password protection on or off. When it done press on OK.
