Answer 1

just collect a bunch of pictures you like and put them in the same folder and put that folder someplace easy to find like in "my pictures"

1)close all windows right click on your desktop select properties

2)select the "screensaver" tab

3)in the screensaver drop down menu select "my pictures slideshow" and click the "settings" button

4) now navigate to the folder with your pictures in it useing the "browse" button

Answer 2

First make a folder one your desktop with a name you can remember. The put all the pictures you want in that folder. Go back into the preferences pane, hit browse, and choose that folder as the one you want to gather pictures from. And that should work.

★★ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ★★

◙ You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first started. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. You should get both of them. Each one has information the other doesn't have.

◙ Wouldn't it be a great feeling knowing that you will be able to do many things your friends cannot do? A little work now will save you tens of thousands of hours of doing unnecessary and repetitive tasks later. When most newcomers get on the World Wide Web they are in a really big hurry. Then they end up in chat rooms and forums wanting people like myself to explain it step-by-step. Read this book first. Then come back if you are still having a problem.

◙ Don't read this book from cover-to-cover. Instead use it as a reference book. Keep it open while experimenting with your computer. Click on every thing you see with both your right and left mouse button. Also experiment with the center mouse wheel. There are many things it can do.

◙ This book will teach you how to do many many things with your computer. Some of them are copy, paste, delete, highlighting text, making a file, saving a file, how to change things in your computer, how to install software and the list goes on and on. Getting on the web before you learn the basics of your computer is like trying to be a race car driver before you learn how to drive.

◙ Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. Only libraries can get an account at Firstsearch.org. So you need to go to the library to search it. When you find what you want have the librarian order it for you. Read it and then return it to them. :)

◙ There are many great books written on this subject. Another one is Windows XP Headaches. It teaches you how to fix many problems you'll run into with Windows XP.

◙ Smart Computing Magazine -- This is the number one magazine for Windows tips. They'll show you how to clean your registry, spyware, adware, and a zillion other tricks. There are quite literally hundreds of tips per issue. They even have an online database of tips, forums and chats. Their online version of the magazine is a lot cheaper.

◙ Microsoft Product Support -- Get updates to software, tips, tricks and a multitude of other things here.

◙ Microsoft Product Discussion Groups -- You'll need to signup for an MSN Passport Account to use these groups. But it's really worth your time. You'll receive better help here than anywhere else. If you want help with a product you didn't pay for don't mention you didn't pay for it. :)

You'll find a folder called My Pictures in your My Documents folder. Fill that with the pictures you want and then do exactly what you said you did. (You can delete or move the pictures that are allready there)

SImple and effective

Answer 7

im not much of a computer genius either but hey,
make your picture or photo or writing whatever on word or paint. then save it in 'my pictures'. then go onto your pictures folder and click on whatever you've made. if you right click you should get an option saying 'set as background' click on it and then wait a moment you should get it as your background.
i dont know if thats what you want to do but see if it works. :)

Answer 8

Save your picture as "Save Picture As: Device Independent Bitmap", then you can view it as a screen saver. (Scroll down on the bar to find it in SAVE AS)
