I signed up. I started processing work unit. I don't see how to download or install the screen saver. Do I just wait? I have about 10% of a unit processed.

Edwin,
If you want to use the BOINC screensaver, you must select it using the Windows "Display" Control Panel (under the "Screen Saver" tab). The screensaver is part of the BOINC progam - so no additional installation is necessary. But, if you do use the screensaver and Einstein 4.79 (the "official" Einstein application) be aware that there is a "graphics bug" that could cause your work units to terminate early with "Client error" messages. If this happens to you, change to the Beta application (see the link under More Information on the E@H home page). Don't worry, the Beta application is very stable (I switched to it back in early August when the "graphics bug" struck my computer and it works great).
Is there just a link I'm missing? I don't see it in the BOINC add-on link section either. Did this screen saver info change since October when the last post to this thread was made?
