Enjoy your own pictures as your screensaver! This is so cool and so easy to do. You just create a slideshow of your pictures and there your own screensaver goes. Windows XP support this kind of activity. All photos stored in your ‘My Pictures’ folder will be used and displayed randomly one after another in a slideshow.
To configure this personalized screensaver, follow the steps below:
- Store all you photos in ‘My Pictures’ folder.
-
Right-click on your desktop and select ‘Properties’ from the menu.
-
Select the ‘Screensaver’ tab from the dialog box.
- Click on the list of screensaver and choose ‘My Pictures Slideshow’.
-
Click ‘OK’.

A screensaver is a simple program that appears whenever you leave the mouse or keyboard unattended.
These screensavers were originally designed to protect the computer monitor from phosphor burn-ins. The phosphors that are used to make the pixels in the display would glow at a constant rate. If they are left for a certain period of time, they would actually discolor the glass surface of your monitor.
Today, screensavers are used for entertainment. Most people would use screensavers just for the fun of watching them. Some examples of these screensavers are natural environments like animated waterfalls or fishes, favorite actor/actress, cars, etc.

So if your system administrator has disabled the use of your screensavers, here are some steps that you can take to regain back control over them:
1. Click Start and then the option Run…
2. Type “gpedit.msc” and then press Enter.
3. A window with a tree on its left will open. The User Configuration node has to be expanded. After that expand the Control Panel and click Display.
4. Then, look at the policies to the right in the list. Make sure that these policies from Hide Screen Saver Tab to Screen Saver Timeout have their state set to Not Configured.
5. Now close the window of Group Policy.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP are improved versions of Windows 95/98. It introduced a lot of new features that are needed specifically for their administration. One of them was controlling/disabling screensavers.
If you found out that your office computer has a grayed out screensaver, or even worse, the Screensaver tab itself is missing from the Display properties, then this means that the person who configured your PC or your system administrator have disabled your use of screensavers. This is especially controlled in corporations to prevent their employees from being distracted with these fun screensavers, or downloading these pages from the internet.

From the site comes some of the best sci-fi scenery from space; galaxies and planets you’ve never seen all in the convenience of your desktop. See galaxies and nebula as you coast around the universe, watch stars and planets whiz by in the beauty of the most realistic screensavers from outer space. No need to get on a rocket, just sit back and watch as the wonders of the universe are displayed right before your very eyes. See the sun and planets like never before as stunning graphics filled with details flash and change at set intervals. You even have the option of having an mp3 file playing in the background as a bonus.

Did you know that using a screensaver not only helps keep your monitor last longer, it also helps save you power?
The monitor and displays are the biggest consumers of power in your PC, yes, even bigger than a normal central processing unit (now if your CPU is super buffed up, like one for gaming with fancy shmancy attachments, it might be another mater entirely) so it simply makes sense that when your monitor temporarily turns itself off through the screensaver, you save power.
When doing long tasks like scanning for viruses and spyware and malware, or defragging your disk, converting or rendering videos or photos, downloading files or copying large files, burning a CD or DVD – more or less tasks that render your PC slower – always have a screen saver kick in after a couple of minutes so that you can save up on power.

Screensavers are usually just made up of cutesy pictures or something that the user likes. However, there’s a screensaver out there that not only looks good, but your computer will be used to search for life in other planets:
“The program can be downloaded and installed on a home computer,” Wertheimer said. “It works as a screensaver, performing analysis on the data received from SETI at home.”
He said each home PC is sent a small chunk of sky data to analyze.
“With 2,000 computers looking at their own piece of sky data, it is the equivalent of the biggest computation on the planet,” he said. “Once you’ve got the data in your computer it will start sifting through hundreds of millions of different radio signals, looking for some faint signals from a distant civilization.”

• Go to Windows Photo Gallery.
• Click the pictures you want to display in the slide show. If you have more than one picture, hold down the CRTL key and click on those photos you want to include.
• click the “slide show” button located at the bottom of the photo gallery.
• If you don’t choose any picture, Windows Vista will play all the photos filed in the picture gallery once you click on “slide show.”
• remember that you can control the speed of your slide show.
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.

Nature is always at its best, even in technology.
After some hours of grueling work in front of your computer terminal or laptop, there is nothing more soothing than nature scenery, even if its only virtual, partnered with a cup of aromatic chocolate or roasted coffee arabica.
Let yourself relax while enjoying pleasing scenery and beautiful images of natures and places you could not imagine exist in this problem-full and anxious world.
You can search for nature screensavers, there are lots of it oline. And what’s better is they are free. Would not consume much resources of your PC, too.
