Uninstall Screensaver from Kindle 2

Here is some part of instruction to install update for your Kindle 2. First of all if you installed the custom screensavers software then you have to uninstal it first by installing "Update_kindle2_restore_default_screen_savers.bin". Now you can install "Update_kindle_2.0.3.bin", and the you can reinstall the custom screensavers software again if you want by installing Update_kindle2_user_screen_savers.bin.

Manually update your Kindle.

You must manage to have kindle update on your computer from whatever source you need to download it. Then switch on your Kindle E-Book Reader and connect it to your computer with the given usb cable. You can paste the file "Update_kindle_2.0.3.bin" in your Kindle's root directory from your computer. Make sure that you are not placing it in one of the Kindle's Folder. Disconnect your kindle after file transfer has been completed. Now press Home and go to menu. Select for settings from Home. Then press Menu and select for "Update Your Kindle". If all of recent updates are already been installed on your kindle then screen will be grayed out. Press OK if asked for update. Your kindle will show large check mark on the screen after completion of update. After your updated kindle you will be having "Archived Items" and 0 books only on screen but not to worry as it will load all that books within a minute.
