Running A Video As Screensaver In Windows 7?

Dec 22, 2009

Running a video as screensaver in Windows7 Some of you may have seen my posting in the Vista forum on how to run a video as screensaver [URL]. This method does not work in Windows7. There is, however, another method for Windows7 that accomplishes the same goal. For that you have to go via Windows Live Photo Gallery. If you do not have it yet on your system, download it from Windows Live Essentials[URL]). Then do the following steps: � Open Live Essentials Photo Gallery � Click on File � Click on > Screen Saver Settings (This will open the Screen Saver Settings) � Browse to your folder with the video and open it (OK) � In the Use this theme list box, select Album � Then do Save � Now run Preview and see whether it works Remind you that the video format must be .wmv. If you have another format, convert it with Format factory [URL]

Screensaver That Plays All Photo And Video Formats?

Sep 21, 2011

am using windows live photo gallery for a screensaver. It plays all photo and video except videos with in the MOV format. I have searched for a solution and have not found a resolution. So now I am searching for a screensaver that plays all video and photo files. I found a couple but you have to "build" it by pointing the screensaver to specific files. Does anyone know of a screen saver that would play all photo and video files by just pointing them to the folder containing the photos and videos?

BSOD While Running Integrated Graphics And Playing Video

Jan 1, 2012

I am running a first gen Alienware M11x netbook:
Processor: SU7300
Ram: 4 GB
Graphics: integrated and GT 335m
OS: Windows 7 home premium 64 bit

Last night, for the first time since I performed a driver update for the graphics card, I switched to integrated graphics to watch a video (mp4) while I had it unplugged. Upon running the video I got the BSOD with the information below:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 4105

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 3b
BCP1: 00000000C0000005
BCP2: FFFFF8800410EDBC
BCP3: FFFFF88008CD2CF0
BCP4: 0000000000000000
OS Version: 6_1_7601 Service Pack: 1_0 Product: 768_1

Files that describe the problem:
C:WindowsMinidump123111-18673-01.dmp
C:UsersSeanAppDataLocalTempWER-40295-0.sysdata.xml

I tried it again to make sure it would still happen (it did, not a great idea) and tried with the discrete card active which let it run. I also noticed the laptop having some minor issues in other places as well.

Windows 7 Screensaver Won't Work

Apr 12, 2012

Basically, the screensaver won't work in Windows 7. My laptop is a 32bit system with 2GB of RAM so not old. I upgraded about a year ago from Vista to Windows 7. Symptoms: the screensaver doesn't work - the screen is just blank. When I try to change the screensaver in Control Panel and preview it, it won't preview even after 'Apply'. There are only 4 or so screensaver options such as Bubbles and Mystify but none seem to work. I am aware of a problem with the Bubbles screensaver via the internet but am not sure if this is a problem. I sometimes get an error box up when I awake the laptop (error OXc0000017). When I tried to install a new screensaver, it wouldn't install and I got the same error message/code. I have changed the power settings now so the display never goes off but I don't think this will change things.

Stop Windows 7 From Changing Screensaver When Change Theme?

Apr 5, 2012

Each time I decide to change the theme on my Dell Inspiron laptop Windows 7 automatically turns sounds back on and changes the screen saver. It's so annoying and unnecessary.How can I prevent it from doing this when all I want to do is vary the themes? Or do I have to go through the same routine each time - that of switching off the sounds and restoring my screensaver?

Windows 7 - Screensaver Disappearing And Desktop Appearing In Loop

Jun 21, 2011

I have my screen saver set at 15 minutes. I first noticed something odd this past weekend. The screen saver was on when I drifted off to the land of sweet dreams. Sometime during the night I woke up, looked across the room, and I saw my desktop. Other than thinking "why do I see my desktop" I thought nothing else about it. Since then I have actually seen the screen saver disappear and my desktop appear. I was on the other side of the room, not on the computer, the mouse did not get moved, and nothing happened that would cause this.

I've not been able to figure out why all of a sudden the desktop would appear. What I can do to keep the screen saver on until I want to go to my desktop? I noticed that after a while the screen saver would come back on and stay on a while before going back to the desktop. It's caught in a loop of going back and forth. In the grand scheme of things, this is not a biggie but I'd still like to know why this is happening.

Two Desktops Running At Same Time / Background Programs Running

Jan 29, 2012

As I shutdown/restart my laptop, I notice it switches to a secondary desktop that has been running programs.A good example would be trying to open my Task Manager, I can Ctrl-Alt-Del and it will allow me to open Task Manager - however when I click on Task Manager, it opens on the Desktop running in the background. I can't even access the Desktop in the background, it only shows up as I'm shutting down - closing programs that I tried opening awhile ago.

Why Do Video Files In Windows 7 Always Appear At Least Twice In The Video Folder?

Complete Access To One PC Running Windows 7 From Another One That Is Also Running Windows 7

Oct 9, 2012

I am running into this issue of having complete access to one PC running windows 7 from another one that is also running windows 7. One of the PC's is a windows 7 pro 32 bit and the other is window 7 ultimate 64 bit. I have had them setup with public and dedicated folder sharing. But from time to time I find that a file I want to get off one or the other was not saved to a shared folder. I have been looking for a way to allow complete access from one PC to other one (going both directions). I use 2 PC all the times and it really depends on where I am in the house as to what one I am using as one is laptop and the other is a desktop. They are both on the same network. It is just one of the strange things that I have not been able to find a way to get complete file access without the use of software like Teamviewer or others like it.What I would like to do it just go to the network location in the windows explore to get the files I want from the other PC.
