Changing the screen saver
 
1.

Right-click on the desktop.

 
2. Choose properties from the menu.
 
3. Click Screen Saver.
 
4.

Choose a screen saver from the available choices in the list.

You will notice that Windows provides a small preview above the list. You can also click on Preview to receive a full-screen preview.

Note:  Some screen savers allow the user to customize the screen saver by clicking on Settings. For example, the Marquee screen saver allows the user to add a message which will scroll across the screen.

5. You will notice beneath the list, there is a wait box. This allows the user to specify how long Windows waits before starting the screen saver. For example, if I enter 3, Windows will start the screen saver after the computer has been inactive for three minutes.
