Screen Saver (My Picture Show)

[alanb830]

One of my computers has the "My Picture Show" screen
saver function. The other does not. How do I get that
option to show in the screen saver options? Which file
activates it or do I need to download the file?

Hi,

On the one that does not, expnad the ssmypics.scr file from the I386 folder
to the system folder.

Start/run msconfig, click on "expand file" (general tab)

File to expand: ssmypics.scr
From: X:\I386
To: %windir%\system32

Where X is whatever letter is assigned your CD drive (you need your WinXP CD
for this), change it accordingly. If your system was preinstalled, you may
find this instead on the hard drive under C:\Windows\I386. If so, change the
"from" line accordingly. Reboot when finished.
