Can't install into system32

When I installed the application, system told me "C:\Windows\System32\newspaperwall1080.scr an erro occurred while trying to create a file in the directory", I don't know how to fix this. Please help, thanks!

• Hello Jason,

  You may need to use administrator rights on your computer to be able to copy the screensaver file into the protected System32 folder. Open your Downloads folder, right-click the "newspaperwall1080.exe" file and choose "Run as Administrator".

• Thanks, Rob,
  I've tried to run as Administrator many times,
  but it just didn't work.
  Is there other way to solve this problem?

• Are you able to put any files into the Windows folder manually? For example, the newspaperwall1080.scr screensaver file contained in this ZIP archive file?

  It's unlikely to work as a screensaver because the installation program also installs a configuration file, but just to check if you are allowed to put files there.

  Perhaps a simpler question would be: are you able to install other screensavers?

• The zip file worked well!
  I put them into system32 folder and run .exe again,
  still error message, but now I can find it in the Screen Saver Settings.
  Other screensavers with a installer had no problem in my computer,
  it's really weird...but thanks again!

• Not sure why the installer wouldn't work, but glad this got it working for you!
