Restoring a backup from a external drive

I need help. When I bought my computer, it had XP loaded since vista had not
been released. While using XP, my screen saver would not work. When i
received my free copy of vista, i upgraded over XP instead of a clean
install. Still, my screen saver did not work. Tech support suggested I do a
clean install, so I backed up everything to a external drive. Now, after
reloading Vista, I can no longer access the backup files. the restore program
sees the external drive, but not the files. Oh, and by the way, my screen
saver still won't work!
 
Are you trying to use a screen saver supplied by the operating system or
some other?
