you need to have the proper command line code in your program or it won't work. There is a screensaver tutorial at www.blitzcoder.com that explains everything you need to do which is pretty simple.
the saver doesn't have to be in the sys32 folder but, you should specify your app path within the program, and you will have to rigth click on the .scr file you've renamed and select install.
this is basically ssaver tut with a little photocube code inserted
AppTitle "PhotoCube ScreenSaver 1.0 by CRAPSOFT" ; The Name of your Screensaver
ChangeDir SystemProperty$("appdir") ; IMPORTANT
; Checking Parameters that Windows uses for handling Screensavers
If CommandLine$() <> "" 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 ; <> ""
End ; End program... bye bye
