Some of the screensavers don't work right with some graphics cards. This sounds exactly like the problem I had way back when I installed these. It's in the ReadMe (which I think at this point would be a good idea). I think you can manually delete the problem screensavers, but I'm not sure where it keeps these particular ones (the system ones are in System > Library > Screen Savers). You will probably want to restart or at least log out after doing this (my guess as to why you were still having the problem). I never re-installed it after I got a new hard drive, so this is all by memory from a few months back.
