I cannot find option to create .scr file

When you click Create button, program will ask for a screen saver name and folder where it will be stored. In addition, you can select format of your screen saver from “Save as type” drop down box:

  • Screen Saver Installation Package (.exe)
  • Screen Saver Installation Package Archive (.zip)
  • Screen Saver (.scr)
  • Digitally Signed Screen Saver (.scr) with Separate Data (.dat)

If your screen saver is generated as a regular Screen Saver (.scr), you need to manually copy it to appropriate System folder, so it can appear in System screen saver list:

  • for 64-bit version of Windows: C:\Windows\SysWOW64
  • for 32-bit version of Windows: C:\Windows\System32

When using Digitally Signed Screen Saver (.scr) with Separate Data (.dat) type, both .scr and .dat files should be copied to appropriate System folder, too.
