do a search for: *.scr
scr is the extention for screensavers and thesearch should find all that are on your computer.
( * is a wildcard character and will find ALL filenames with the extention .scr)

Assuming you are using Windows (on the basis that Windows users tend to be the ones who never mention their OS):
Search for files named *.scr - you should be able to find them this way. Once you have found them, move them to c:\window\system32\ - once they are there they should appear in your display settings.
Be careful with downloaded screensavers - they are an easy way to transmit viruses.

p.s. Just because you don't know how to do something it doesn't automatically make it as an "expert" issue - it just means that there's one more thing for your list of stuff you don't know.

For desktop pc better performance, I suggest you set your desktop background/wallpaper and screensaver to "none", then right click on desktop, click properties, click 'appearance', choose ' windows classic style'.
Then Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/power schemes/settings/turn off monitor after 10 minutes, and set the next 2 drop down boxes ( 1. Turn off Hard Disks, and 2. System Standby) to "never"/apply/ok/ok.
Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/System/Advanced tab /under Performance click on Settings / Visual Effects tab/
Adjust for best performance / Ok / Apply / Ok
Then Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/hibernate/take check mark out of "Enable hibernation"/apply/ok/ok. Do not to use hibernate on desktop. Standby & Hibernate Issues in Windows XP = http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_standby.htm

If I'm going to be away from the pc for more than an hour, or whenever there is lightning in the area, then after shutting it down properly, I unplug the UPS (which all the computer stuff is plugged into) and disconnect the cable.

I easily have a mysterious previous clock this is on the backside of a exceptionally lake, and it tells you the actual time and date, and it keeps time for besides the undeniable fact that long the screensavor is on for.
