To setup a screen saver on Windows XP OS please right click anywhere on the desktop and select "Properties". Navigate to the "Screen Saver" tab at the top of the page and select one of the options from the drop down menu (e.g. Starfield). Select the time period required for the screen saver to take effect and then click "Apply".
