1-On window XP home edition/personal, how to I add my
Pictures to screen saver program. The pictures are
already in the picture folder.

2-In the screen saver program there are many pictures and
text, Including the 3D Pictures and text writting, but
the 3D Pictures and text are not working ?

In the screen saver drop down list, select the My Pictures Slideshow to get
the pictures in that folder to display in the screen saver.

For the 3D screen savers, you need to have a video card that supports the 3D
standards. Check for updated video drivers.

Go to the following website and scroll down to line 51. Click on the
"Enable" link and download the screensaverenable.vbs file to your desktop.
Double click the file to run it. This will make sure that the screen savers
are enabled. Try the screen saver again.

Open My Computer and navigate to the My Pictures folder at C:\Documents and
Settings\<user name>\My Documents\My Pictures. (Where <user name> is the
name you are logged on with) In the left menu, click the "View as slide
show" item. Does this start the slide show for those pictures?

In Control Panel go to the Screen Saver dialog and click on the My Pictures
Slideshow and then click the Settings button. In the "Use pictures in this
folder" section, make sure that it is pointing to the correct My Pictures"
folder where the files are located.

If this does not fix the problem, check with the manufacturer of your video
card for any updated drivers that may be available and install them.
