Vista Screen Saver, Photo
I receive an error "an error is preventing this slide show from playing"
The settings are pointed at users\username\pictures If I change to settings to ANY of the subfolders slide show works. File types within the folders have been verified. Please tell me this problem is NOT about the number of pictures within the folder?

Vista Screen Saver, Photo
i managed to solve the probelm (for me anyway)
I moved all the photos to a different directory (from my personel directory to the pubic directory) but left any thing that was not a photo or .avi file. in my case the things i didn't move was a ms clip file in .wmf and a folder of images that are associated with google talk and a "cd drive short cut" (don't know what that was doing in there) Anyway - screen saver with photos work find now. So i guess the screen saver did not like one of theses files. My advice is to move a folder of photos across to a new folder and then set up the screen saver to use that new folder. If the screen saver work - move some more folders in. By a process of elimination you may be able to isolate the problem file. Anyway - worked for me - hope it works for u "Colleen" wrote: I am suddenly having the same problem and can't find a solution for it. Can anyone help?

Worked like a charm ... thank you. All I had to do was create a new folder (I put mine on the desktop), copy my photos over, minus the folder structure they were in because the folders were acting like a block so to speak, and then I redirected my screen saver path to the new desktop folder. It was so simple, I should have thought of it myself :-) Thanks again so much.
