screensaver tab

[petlvrof2]

I was trying to use my pictures as screensavers.

When I go control panel... display, there is no screensaver tab. Only
themes, appearance and settings.

Am I missing something basic?


Thanks

You have a policy restriction that prevents the tab from appearing. To
disable this restriction you need to click Start>Run, type "regedit",
navigate to the following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\
Policies\ System

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\
Policies\ System

For each key change the value called "NoDispScrSavePage" to 0, if it
exists. This should re-enable the screen saver tab. (You may need to
log off/restart before the changes take effect.)
