All you have to do is rename the executable to "yournamehere.scr" and ignore the warning message. Also, you should check the command line when the program starts up, with /C being the options for the screensaver and /S being the actual screensaver:
You should also put a delay(1) in the main loop to make sure that other programs running when the screensaver turns on still get cpu time. Also, you should terminate the main loop with any mouse movement, mouse press, or key press.
I think there is a tutorial somewhere on this site (where I got my info)
EDIT: couldn't find tutorial, here is a framework to add to:
If CommandLine$() <> "" Then ; If Parameter is present then If Upper(Left$(CommandLine$(),2)) = "/C" Then Configure() ; check if Screensaver Configuration shall be executed If Upper(Left$(CommandLine$(),2)) = "/S" Then Start() ; or Screensaver itself should be started EndIf
