I've been trying to install some screen savers, but they haven't showed
in desktop properties. What did show up is a blank screen savers.

Screen Saver Names and File Locations.

Files with an .scr extension are screen savers.

..scr files should be located in these folders...
C:\WINDOWS\system32
and
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
and/or
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

The .scr files located in C:\WINDOWS\system32 should be listed in Display
Properties, Screen Saver tab, Screen saver list.

At least the default XP screen savers are located as above.

logon.scr = Logon Screen Saver
scrnsave.scr = Default Screen Saver
ss3dfo.scr = Direct3D Flying Objects Screen Saver
ssbezier.scr = Bezier Curves Screen Saver
ssflwbox.scr = Direct3D Flowerbox Screen Saver
ssmarque.scr = Marquee Screen Saver
ssmypics.scr = My Pictures Slideshow Screensaver
ssmyst.scr = Mystify Screen Saver
sspipes.scr = Direct3D Pipes Screen Saver
ssstars.scr = Starfield Screen Saver
sstext3d.scr = Direct3D 3D Text Screen Saver
