| I have W2K on my computer and want to use a favorite photo
| as a screen saver. How do I do this?
A search should bring up quite a few free and shareware utilities
which allow you to create a slide show or screen saver from your
pictures.
For example, on the freeware side, the ImageForge image program has a
tool to do make a slideshow screen saver from your photos or images.
The download is at
http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/64469.html To do
screensavers in Image Forge...
1- go to its "Tools" menu and then to "Create Album or Slide Show"
2- on the "Image Files" tab, click the + button to add your pictures
3- also on the "Image Files" tab, there is a check box to turn your
slide show into a screen saver if you wish
4- go to the "Viewer" tab to give a file name for the slide show or
screen saver (this should end in the letters ".EXE" for a stand-alone
slide show, or with ".SCR" for a screen saver - without the quote
marks)
5- go to the "Slide Show" tab to add animated effects and sound if you
want.
If you are doing a screen saver, then once you have generated the
screen saver's .SCR file, just copy it to your "C:\Windows\System32"
folder so that you can select your new screen saver from the list in
Windows' Control Panel/Display.
