To install the screen backgrounds on your computer, first download the program into a suitable temporary directory on your PC. If you have a directory called TEMP then this is a good place to store the file.

Windows95/98x users can use the C:\Windows\Temp directory. To start downloading click on the link below. Instruct your browser to save the software into your chosen target location, e.g. C:\TEMP. The file is a Zipped Self Extracting Archive and is called viselementsbg.exe (9MB).

Alternatively, go back to the previous page and click on the screen images to download individual Zipped Self Extracting Archives, these range in size from 0.8 to 1.4 MB

Once the file has finished downloading, it will need decompressing. Double click the icon for the .exe file and a dialogue box will prompt you to Unzip files to your C:\TEMP directory (or any other directory should you wish). You will there find 8 new bitmap files. You can delete the temporary file at this point as it is no longer needed, (unless you wish to keep it as a backup).

Finally you make the screen background of your choice active in the normal way. That is, for Windows 95 users, right mouse click on your desktop, select properties, wall paper and select the desktop pattern of your choice.

To remove the software, simply delete the files from your Windows directory.
