how do i create a slide show screen saver?

Question

i have just acquired a scanner. i used it to scan photos onto my computer. i'd like to make a screen saver out of them, but i'm not sure how.

Answer 1

Do you have any photos stored in your computer? On mine I just click on a empty space on my screen and a little pop up shows up. Then I click on PROPERTIES and another pop up shows that looks like a computer screen with tabs at the top. I click on SCREEN SAVER and use the scroll down until I come to MY PHOTO SLIDE SHOW. Easy as that but computers are different. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Put the images in a directory by themselves and note the path to the directory. Go to Control Panel/Display/Screen Saver and Browse to that directory. Some programs will do it for you (move the images and make the connection) like on Dell computers.

Answer 3

To the best of my knowledge you cannot point the control panel screensaver to a specific location. It will give you a list of pre-existing screensavers on your machine, then you pick the one you want. Windows has several basic ones built in to the operating system. I had to download a couple of new ones to create a screensaver that uses images from a particular folder a directory. I use one called "My Pictures Slideshow". You should be able to find several simply by doing a search for one. Also try tucows.com - they have just about everything including different ypes of screensavers.
