Default Screensaver Photos

Hi Everyone

I have just noticed that on my screen saver, which I have set to "Photos"

will not display the photos on screen saver, all other screensaver

applications work ok "Bubbles - Text - etc etc"

Allthough while setting screensaver my photos appear in the little display

monitor next to settings.

But when I press preview it previews over to blank screen, this also happens

when screensaver is due to kick in.

I have 100% checked that all settings are ok, but this is a problem that
occurred as I have always shown my pictures on screensaver.
But since I started using Vista Home Premium, the problem happens.

As I have always shown my pictures on screensaver.
While using XP without a problem.

Default Screensaver Photos

The screen saver may not activate or will exit intermittently for several
reasons:
-Power management is enabled and configured to activate before the screen
saver.
-If the computer has a tuner card, the television tuner may be active.
-An anti-virus utility is currently running an active scan.
-Third-party wireless keyboards and mice may affect screen saver performance.
-A background application is preventing the screen saver from activating.
-Ensure all available video driver and software updates have been downloaded
and installed..
-Ensure all available operating system patches and updates have been
downloaded and installed..


Two things you can try:
1) Change screen saver slide show to Classic.

Or
2) If SP1 was installed check computer manufacturer for any drivers or BIOS
updates that may clear up SP1 Related issues. Example: Sony Vaio offered
updates to its Mobile Intel 945 Express chipset graphics driver.

3) See if the old photos work in Photo Gallery Slide show or other Windows
apps.
