how do I add new screensaver?

how do I add new screensaver? I have downloaded one but unable to add it. Screensaver only has options of adding folder and photos, not of adding new screensaver.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

its for a MAC and I think the screensaver is a newer version. When I see the istalled file in downloads it shows same as the screensaver in mac.

I might try intalling some other screensaver and see if it works.

Third Party Screensavers have a fairly poor record of compatability between upgraded OS's let alone stability. It may just be a poorly designed Screensaver or a corrupted download of it.

But I feel it's the MAC OS not playing nice with other products.... 😟

Believe it or not, when it comes to third party extentions it's 99% the opposite way. Developers are often too lazy to update their software to run with new Operating Systems, be it Apple OSX or Windows. That is why the smaller companies go by the wayside. Just because it's a Nike Screensaver does not mean that the product is up to the standard of their shoes. I would go with your earlier suggestion to try some other third party screensavers and see how they work. I know my favorite was left behind about 4 OSXs ago.
