No idea, but you do know your computer doesn't need a screen saver, right? In the old days, when monitors displayed the same images for an extended period of time, the image would be visible even after the monitor had been switched off. Nowadays, the phosphors used in monitors are of such a quality that this doesn't happen anymore. This applies to CRT monitors. LCD monitors never had this problem to begin with.
My point is: installing a screen saver is useless. It uses up space on your hard disk, you risk installing viruses and other malware. And for what? A pretty, moving picture that anyone who's not close to brain dead gets bored with within a day.

I do not use screen savers because my computer is not left idol for a long period of time. Screen savers are quite irritating also.

hah, I don't use it, because I don't want to my computer suddenly jump into a picture, when I am not working, I can sit in front of computer for a long time, but do nothing.

Yes, I do have a screen saver. but i have not used any fancy screen saver as i don't like it. i have used a black blank screen saver.

I dont use screen saver, i use Auto power off function to save power and monitor. it's better than screen saver.
Control panel > Power Options > choose "Turn off monitor after xx mins", i choosed 15mins,
