How Do I Change an MP4 Screensaver?

Screensavers can be any object or picture, but they have to change positions in order to be a screensaver.

A screensaver is a moving display on your monitor that appears after a pre-set amount of time, to prevent the current screen on the computer from "burning" into the display, hence, the term screen "saver." Removing, changing or adding a screensaver is a simple task nowadays, as Windows allows you to modify the screensavers right in the Control Panel. Change an MP4 (Mpeg-4) screensaver to a different type (for example, a flash screensaver) in less than a minute.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Start" button and open the "Control Panel."

2. Type "screen saver" into the search box and then, in the results, click on "Change screen saver."

3. Select the screensaver that you want to use within the "Screen saver" dialog box. Now, click "OK" to save the changes you have made.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are downloading screensavers to use on your computer, make sure you download them from trusted websites as hackers can attach virus programs to the screensaver to infect your computer.
