Pausing The Photo Screensaver

Dec 30, 2009

I'm getting my mum's new 64-bit Windows 7 HP Pavillion all set up for her, and I have hit a minor snag. When the photo screensaver is running, you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move forward and backward through the pictures, but it won't pause.

In XP, you could always push the down arrow to pause the screensaver in order to look at a picture longer, but that only ends the screensaver in 7. I've also noticed the same problem in Vista. Is there some way I can pause the photo screensaver and not "wake up" the computer, or did Mr. Gates decide to discontinue the feature after XP?

Dual Monitors And Photo Screensaver

Nov 10, 2009

I have a dual monitor setup. In XP the photo screensaver would display pictures on both monitors, alternating between them.

On Windows 7, most of the image is on my left monitor (which is my secondary, extended display). Some of the image shows on the main (larger) monitor.

I would like the images to show on the big main monitor.

Anybody have any ideas?

Photo Screensaver Dual Display

Apr 5, 2009

Is there something built into Windows 7 that will do a screen saver of a library of photos, yet use *both* displays to show multiple photos? There are a couple in there, but they only seem to work on the primary display. Is there a way to enable multiple displays for these?

I have a nice 3rd party app I purchased in the XP days that does this, but was wondering if there was a way to get 7 to do it natively.

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?

Photo Screensaver Doesn't Include Sub-directories

Sep 28, 2009

For some reason, I cannot get the photo screen saver to include sub directories. I select either my pictures folder, or my pictures library, and in both cases, it only seems to poll those pictures in the root of pictures, as well as sample pictures.. None of the other folders in the pictures folder get polled... Any suggestions?

Also.. for some reason, the screen saver does not start when it should. I can preview it from the screen saver configuration screen, but it doesn't start on it's own after the allotted time....

Live Photo Gallery Screensaver Issue

Nov 5, 2009

Some of my photos are displayed in a sort of low resolution!

I have downloaded and installed Windows Live Photo Gallery and use its screen-saver in Pan and zoom with medium speed. Many photos are excellently displayed but some are displayed in a very coarse resolution. These photos are displayed normally in other applications.

One for example is 4,15 MB width 10066 pixs and height 2619 pixs ( a panorama). I have tried to re-sample to a smaler size but the problem remains.

Using the Google screensaver they display normally, but I like the pan effect in Live Photo Gallery better.

Any ideas?

I use the Windows Live Photo Gallery screensaver, ticked for 'photos and video from...'. When it runs, photos are fine but videos show with a grayed out media file icon. These are just simple .avi files that play with media player, vlc, or whatever.

Photo Editing Software Comparable To Old Adobe Photo-deluxe?

Oct 30, 2012

Is there any photo editing software comparable to the old Adobe PhotoDeluxe. I have tried Gimp, Picasso and paid for other versions of Adobe. None are as user friendly and have the editing tools that PhotoDeluxe had.

Photo Thumbnails In Explorer Won't Update After Photo Altered

Aug 5, 2012

Explorer won't update thumbnails after I alter a photo, for example by rotating sideways photos (that is, permanently rotating, using a photo editor program), or by cropping.

How do I get the thumbnails to update?

This is happening for all photos (not just certain ones).

I have tried:

- View > Refresh

- Copying the photos to a new folder and renaming them. Even if a photo has been drastically cropped, the thumbnail is still showing the original, whole one - that is, it's showing parts of the file that DON'T EVEN EXIST

- Entirely disabling the thumbnail cache: Group Policy Editor > 'Turn off caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files'. This *must* force Windows to redraw the thumbnail - but it doesn't!

- Restarting computer after each of the above steps

Win 7 Pro, 64 bit. Photos are jpegs from a new digital camera.

Add Screensaver

Nov 26, 2009

Just setting up a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I would like to add a .scr file I created and used in my Windows XP Pro. Can I just move a copy of it into the Windows>System32 directory and then select it in the Personalization window (selecting the theme I'm using and then Screensaver)? In XP of course this was all done by right clicking on the desktop and selecting Properties. This brought up the Display Properties window where everything could be changed.

Anything to be careful of when adding to the System32 directory? Just don't want to screw anything up!

Screensaver

I set my screensaver for two minutes to check that it works properly. I have Windows Media Player running, and after 5 minutes, it still hasn't kicked in. Does it not work if WMP is running? I haven't touched the mouse or keyboard.

Screensaver Bug

Apr 27, 2009

If I set my screensaver, It still shows "none" (see pic) I have had this problem on 7077 and 7100 (i think before that too) on this machine the screensaver still works but is everyone else having this issue? I also have power issues on another machine. It keeps turning the monitor on. That could be a mouse issue although I've tried two mice and it still happens. I am having all sorts of issues with themes in general but have any of you seen this?

Screensaver Keeps Failing

Oct 7, 2012

Win 7 Home Prem SP1, 64 bit, 8 gb ram. Only using the screensavers that come with Windows, no matter which one I select at varying times it will fail. I can normally reboot and it works again for a time or switch to a new selection where it will work for 2-3 weeks again. I can't find any information on others experiencing the same issue and have been using numerous virus/spyware apps to find anything. MS Security Essentials, Avast, Stinger, Housecall, SuperAntiSpyware and only find tracking cookies.I know it would help if I could get the exact error message and will update when I do get a chance to write it down.

Screensaver Will Not Start?

Jan 15, 2013

I've asked the screensaver to become active after 10 minutes of inactivity on the computer.For some reason this does not happen. I've tried to disconnect USB services such as wireless mouse, keyboard and joystick without any luck. The preview of the screensaver will start perfectly and moving the mouse a bit stops it, however in normal use of the computer the screensaver will not start.

Screensaver Not Working

Oct 15, 2009

my screensaver has worked in the past. at some point i noticed it was no longer working, so i messed around a bit. i think all i did was change the time to something different, and it came back to life for another day or so. it has stopped again, and all of my old tricks are no longer working. i'm pretty sure i have all the power settings correct, and i've been using the screensaver window for years, so those are correct too. I've read about wireless keyboards and mice being a problem, but both of mine are wired.

Screensaver Not Starting

May 22, 2009

Like many others I was having a problem with the screen saver not starting, and the monitors not powering down (had the same problem in Vista).

After going through a series of tests using msconfig and getting no results, I started to un-hook hardware. The first thing I un-plugged was my Contour Shuttle Pro v2 NLE editing controller.

The screensavre started right away and the monitors will now power down.

No solution for the moment except to keep it un-plugged from the USB port until I need to use it.

My hardware:Asus P5E-VM-HDMI mobo, core duo E6750 2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, Nvida geForce 9500 GT and 2x Dell 2209WA monitors.

A trouble report was sent to Contour, and I hope they will respond positivly.

Screensaver Cannot Turn On

Jul 24, 2010

For the longest time now, I'd say about 4 months, my screensaver has not been able to turn on for whatever reason. I did my research online and found that my wireless mouse (Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000 is what I have) could very well be the problem. I found, through research that 2 Windows Updates ("Microsoft - Other hardware - Microsoft Hardware wireless mouse driver", and "Microsoft - Other hardware - HID Non-User Input Data Filter (KB 911895)") could resolve it. While it had already said they were installed on my computer, I ended up uninstalling both updates in order to reinstall them but once I did, the screensaver still didn't come on.

I also went through Microsoft Help and they said there were other alternatives such as installing Intellipoint for my Wireless mouse (Which I did) and ending some "PowerDVD service" thing which I don't have. And now my screensaver STILL doesn't work when I have it set. Anyone else have any ideas or tips on what I should do? I also went to CRTL+ALT+DLT to bring up processes and went to the "services" tab and I don't know if there is any service I should END in order for my screensaver to work again.
