Tip # 1: People like to apply several themes to their Windows Vista screen savers so that pictures (and videos) can be displayed in a variety of ways. Some themes cover the entire screen with one picture at a time, while others will show several simultaneously.
Tip # 2: Not all slide show themes work on all computers, says Microsoft. If the screensaver can’t run with a particular theme, your computer’s video card needs to be replaced with a more powerful one.
