• 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.
You should be aware that there are existing screensavers on the Internet that may cause security threats to your system. The native screensaver format of Microsoft Windows (older versions), were capable of installing a virus when activated. If a screensaver file (which has a file extension of .scr) is attached to an e-mail message, there is a possibility that it will allow a virus or any type of malware to be installed in your system once you open this screensaver file. Be sure to scan the file first before opening or activating it. Use a proficient anti-malware tool and make sure that it is updated regularly to protect you against the latest threats. Also, do no accept any e-mail attachments that came from unknown senders.
