Vista Photo Screen Saver Customize

I am Using Vista 64 ultimate,
I am using the photo scrensaver, I am trying to show pics and not show
pictures in the screen saver by their tag.
I have moved the picture folder to my D:\ drive and my tages are
"show","Don't Show" (I have taged my pics already in the photo gallery under
properties>details.
When I go to screen saver proporties for this screen saver and I enter my
tages for pics I want in and pics I don't want to be shown in my screen saver
(under the "show with tag, don't show with tag"(respectivly) text boxes, and
I try to save my settings I get an error message "no pictures or video
matches the tags you have entered" and it won't save.
I have checked my tags and their spelling= no problem there
I have also checked the registry keys and it shows my picture folder being
on drive D:\, where I put it, I can enter my tages for show and don't show
there under lable and no lable Dward keys but still does not work, when I
save(wel close the registhy) the tag setting I set in the registry don't show
up under photo screen saver settings.
Any suggestions how to fix my tag problem, with out doing the obvious of
moving the pics I don't want in my screen saver to another folder?.
Other then this tag problem the screensaver appears to work as it should.
Thanks,
Tre

RE: Vista Photo Screen Saver Customize

Similarly,

I am using Windows Vista 32 Ultimate, and I am trying to specify multiple
tags to include in the Photos screen saver.

Microsoft's documentation says that I just need to use a semicolon, but when
I enter multiple tags, seperated by a semicolon in the 'With this tag' field,
I get a message box that says 'No pictures or videos match the tag you
entered.

(see:
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...e1033.mspx#EUB)

However, when I enter the same text in the 'Don't show items tagged:' field,
I do not get an error message.

I would really like to specify multiple tags to show.
