Can't install my old screensaver with Vista

I have a new computer with a 32 bit windows Vista operating system that runs
with a D-link ADSL wireless modem-router and I would like to install a
favourite screensaver that I used to run on my old computer with WindowsXP.
The screensaver is the coca-cola Harry Potter Castle screensaver file size
757 KB. But when I went to install it I got the following message "THE
SCREENSAVER COULD NOT BE INSTALLED PLEASE ENSURE THERE IS ENOUGH DISK SPACE
AND TRY AGAIN" This is rediculous because the computer is brand new with a
large capacity. If anyone can help me with this problem it would be
appreciated thanks, as I would really love to have my old screensaver back.
Cheers Chris

If you download it, and it installs(or tries to) automatically, there is not
much you can do.
If you can download the file to your Desktop>right click>run as Admin.
