You have file association probs on your pc. For whatever reason EA decided that the script files would work best if it conflicted with a standard file extension .scr aka screensaver file.
Depending on your OS the easiest way to fix it is to right click on the .scr file and pick "open with" and then use NotePad or WordPad.
EA?.....would it had been that hard to make them .txt files or come up with a different extension.

There quite a few uses of '.scr'
.SCR
Faxview Fax
Screen Saver
Procomm Plus Screen Snapshot File
Script (various)
DOS DEBUG Input File (can be any extension but often .SCR)
LocoScript Screen Font File
Statistica Scrollsheet
Movie Master Screenplay (DOS software replaced by Hollywood Screenplay)
Sun Raster Graphic [XnView]
Mastercam Dialog Script File (CAD/CAM) (usually in .\MILL6 folder)

Hay all how is it going. Guest I had the same prblem to. Had MOHArad for like two weeks and cound'nt get it to install. All I got was a screensaver. What I did is open up my WINZIP and go to the optins and unselecte the option to automaticly install screensavers. Found out that the file extensions for screensavers and the MOHArad zip file is the same .scr. So WINZIP was reading it like it was a screensaver and trying to install it that way. Thats why it does not install right and you keep getting the "CANNT FIND SCREENSAVEER" error message. Thats how I fixed it on my computer. Dont know if it is the right way or not but I have not had any problems with it since. Good luck.
