Instructions for Windows 98/2000/XP
1) To install the Backyardigans Screensaver on your computer, click the "Windows" link above and choose "Save to Disk." A file named "by_screensaver.exe" will begin to download.
2) Make a note of which folder on your hard drive the file is downloaded to, because you will need to find the file again after the download is complete. If asked, choose the option that saves "by_screensaver.exe" to your computer's desktop or save it to a place where you can easily find it later. The download may take up to five minutes, depending on the speed of your Internet connection.
3) When the download is complete, double-click the "by_screensaver.exe" icon, which will guide you through the rest of the installation process.
Instructions for Macintosh
1) Download the Backyardigans Screensaver by clicking on the "Macintosh" link above. A file named "by_screensaver.hqx" will begin to download.
Make a note of which folder on your hard drive the file is downloaded to, because you will need to find the file again after the download is complete. If you are asked, choose the option that saves "by_screensaver.hqx" to your computer's desktop or save it to a place where you can find it later. (Please be patient--the screensaver file is large and could take as many as five minutes to download, depending on the speed of your Internet connection.)
a) Your computer may automatically "UnStuff" the by_screensaver.hqx file, in which case you'll find both the by_screensaver.hqx file and a file named "by_screensaver_osX" in the same folder.
b) If your computer does not automatically "UnStuff" the by_screensaver.hqx file, you may need to use a program such as StuffIt Expander from Aladdin Systems to decompress the screensaver file before it can be installed. If you do not have StuffIt Expander, you can download it for free at their Web site, by clicking here. Once Stuffit is installed, double-click on the by_screensaver.hqx file to extract the Backyardigans Screensaver file.
2) Drag the Backyardigans Screensaver file to your Control Panels folder, located inside your System Folder.
3) Restart your Macintosh.
4) Click on the Apple menu and select Control Panel, then highlight Backyardigans Screensaver (osX). The file will begin to run and your screensaver will be installed.
