screen saver photo options disappeared?

I was trying to change from on file of photos to another and must have hit the wrong key and now I no longer have anything other than one tab called screen saver. Not sre what I had before but there is no choice other than the Windows Screen savers? There is no pull down menu of choices? where is it. Tried everything. HELP

Hello RDONSTEELE, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Double check to see if you have the C:\Windows\System32\PhotoScreensaver.scr file.

If you don't have it, I'll upload a clean copy for you. :)

I have zero clue as to where to look for said file. Point is, I had a drop down menu now I have none. I only have a choice of microsoft stuff. Used to have choices and a BROWSE BUTTON. NOW nothing. If files just disappear WOW! I think that I must have somehow hit two keys at once or such.??

That is not a good answer. Do the following:

Go to Computer > double click on the C partition > then double click on the folders (in sequence) as outlined by Brink => Windows, then System32. In system32 it requires a bit of acouting since this is a very large folder. But the PhotoScreensaver.scr file is there (see picture)
