To set up a screen saver, follow these steps:

1   Right-click the desktop and choose Personalize.The Personalization window appears.


2.    Click the Screen Saver button.  The Screen Saver Settings dialog box appears.

4.    Click the Preview button to preview your screen saver of choice.
If you like what you see, you’re ready to save your preview.
