  2. Click the "Screen Saver" tab.
  3. Click the "Settings..." button.
  4. Click the "Uninstall..." button.
  5. Follow the instructions for "Remove Programs" within Windows.

Mac OS X:

  1. From the Apple menu (at the top left of your screen) choose "System Preferences".
  2. Select "Desktop & Screen Saver" (10.3 and higher), "Display Effects" (10.2) or "Screen Saver" (10.1).
  3. Click the "Options" button.
  4. Click the "Uninstall..." button.
