How to Update a Vista Screensaver

Updating or changing your screensaver in Windows Vista can add some style to your computer. The Vista screensaver--a blue and green backdrop with moving glass-like beams--is the default screensaver. This can get old fairly quickly, and there are many other screensaver options pre-installed on your computer. You can also create your own screensaver, by adding your own pictures and video clips to the "Photos" screensaver.
