| | Screensaver Photos Hi Everyone I have just noticed that on my screen saver, which I have set to "Photos" will not display the photos on screen saver, all other screensaver applications work ok "Bubbles - Text - etc etc" Allthough while setting screensaver my photos appear in the little display monitor next to settings. But when I press preview it previews over to blank screen, this also happens when screensaver is due to kick in. I have 100% checked that all settings are ok, but this is a problem that occurred as I have always shown my pictures on screensaver. But since I started using Vista Home Premium, the problem happens. As I have always shown my pictures on screensaver. While using XP without a problem. John Mac macman2007uk |

| | RE: Screensaver Photos The screen saver may not activate or will exit intermittently for several reasons: -Power management is enabled and configured to activate before the screen saver. -If the computer has a tuner card, the television tuner may be active. -An anti-virus utility is currently running an active scan. -Third-party wireless keyboards and mice may affect screen saver performance. -A background application is preventing the screen saver from activating. -Ensure all available video driver and software updates have been downloaded and installed.. -Ensure all available operating system patches and updates have been downloaded and installed.. Two things you can try: 1) Change screen saver slide show to Classic. Or 2) If SP1 was installed check computer manufacturer for any drivers or BIOS updates that may clear up SP1 Related issues. Example: Sony Vaio offered updates to its Mobile Intel 945 Express chipset graphics driver. 3) See if the old photos work in Photo Gallery Slide show or other Windows apps. -- oscar ![]() ....Right click is your best friend...
