A amusiccale macrumors 6502 Jun 25, 2008 #2 Unless it's something I'm unfamiliar with, a wallpaper should be an image file. If it's a .exe file, you might have a virus on your hands posing as a wallpaper.

krye macrumors 68000 Jun 25, 2008 #5 Yeh, a screensaver should not be an exe. Unless it's a screensaver installer.
