is it an .exe?
or a .scr?

.exe - double click it.
.scr goes in either C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\system32. I have some in both for some reason.

copy the downloaded .scr file into either your Windows folder (eg.: c:\windows or c:\winnt)
or your Windows System folder (eg.: c:\windows\system32 or c:\winnt\system32)

Then rightclick the desktop, click properties, click the 'Screen Saver' tab and pick the newly installed screensaver

As for the .scr files, you should be able to rightclick the file and choose "Install" from the context menu. (At least I see that option on my XP box. And I am pretty sure I haven't installed any programs to get that...)
