Vista - Screensaver - Slideshow Displays in Black & White

I have a folder full of pics which I used on my old Win XP PC to run as a
screensaver. When I use it on my Vista PC, apart from not actually
displaying as a slideshow when it starts, - dropping one picture on top of
another - when it does display as a slideshow it displays in black and
white.

Can anyone help me with this?

TIA

Ed

Hello Ed,

Black and white is one of the random transitions in the photo screensaver.
You can select different transition effects from the Settings button on the
screensaver tab.

Thanks, Jane.

I'll get used to it eventually, I hope.

Check what "transition" you have set up for the slideshow -- part of the random
transitions is black and white.
