Default Engine Screensaver

This screensaver has been floating around my office for awhile now. I think it's pretty sweet. It's a 3D rendering of an engine, getting assembled, and then running. I have the file on my computer but no way to share it. So I searched and found a link where you can download it from if you want.

http://rapidshare.de/files/4430200/motor.rar.html

Here are some directions on how to do this, because a few people on my other forum seemed to have a hard time figuring it out. So just follow the directions below if you don't already know how.

Just click on the link above, then on the screen that pops up click on Free Download. Let it do it's little countdown, and it will start downloading after about 30 seconds. You'll end up with a single .RAR file that needs to be extracted. It will extract to 9 files I believe. Just move all 9 of them into your C:/Windows directory. Then go to your display settings, and it will be in your screensaver list as Deutz Engine. Then watch and enjoy!

BTW, if you are not familiar with .RAR files then I'll explain a little. RAR files can be exctraded with WinRar, similar to how a ZIP file can be extracted with WinZip. If you don't have WinRar, then you will not be able to do this. But below is a link to a free WinRar download. So you'll have to also download this if you don't already have a means to extract RAR files.

Hopefully this isn't too confusing, let me know what you think of it!

You have to enter the code at the bottom and actually click the download button. :P

God damn it, I did everything you said and the mother ****** just doesn't work.

I'm also not computer literate so that could be the problem.
