Default I need a nice Pictures Slideshow screensaver

I like the picture slideshow screensaver that is in XP Media Center it
looks very smooth. Can i download\purchase something like this for my
XP pro system? I know XP pro has a slide show screensaver but it does
not compare to XP media centers.

Thanks

Windows XP Media Center Edition includes screensavers and themes that
Microsoft previously made available only in its $20 Plus! for Windows XP
package. Bundled screensavers include the ever-popular Aquarium (now with
more fish), Da Vinci, Nature, and Space. Themes include Aquarium, Da Vinci,
Nature, and Space. XP MCE 2005 also ships with a unique screensaver called
My Pictures Premium: This screensaver presents an animated slideshow of your
My Pictures folder, with optional background music, and is quite nice.

So - after a Google search brought up that - I would suggest you search for
"My Pictures Premium" and/or "Windows XP Plus!" and get the package while
you can still find it - as Microsoft discontinued it...

I got something a few years ago called Screen Paver. It adjusts all the
pictures to full screen if you want, but still keeps aspect ratio. Lots of
transition effects, adjustable time between pics, etc. I don't know if it
still exists, it was freeware.

I use something called PhotoSlideShow.

It also keeps aspect ratios, and can also be set to zoom so I don't get
any black borders. Another nice feature is that you can press X on the
keyboard to exclude a picture while the slideshow keeps running.
