Title: Deleting a screen saver from windows 7.
Post by: RetroJay on Wed 14/07/2010 21:07:08
Hi good peeps.

I have been trying to help my dad, who has a windows 7 laptop.
He wishes to delete a screen saver that was installed along with a program.
It is there cos you click on it to set it as a screen saver.

But.

I can't find it to delete it.
Now I have gone to 'Remove programs' and it's not there. I have searched the web and other people are having the same prob.
All the solutions just say 'go to remove programs'. Even the, useless, Microsoft site says to do the same thing.
I have even typed '*.scr' into the win7 'search files' window and get no results.

Can anyone please help with this.
Many thanks.
Jay.

Screensavers neither have to be called .SCR, nor do they have to be in the screensaver folder or in the remove programs dialog (although it's pretty nasty if they don't).

Try googling for removing the screensaver with its name.

Failing that, use any program that removes adware, spyware, or other malware.
