Two annoying screen saver issues...
I have two W7 issues involving screen saver. I use the "photos" option to
show pictures I keep in a folder named "slideshow". 1) I use an external monitor to provide additional display geography. It sits to the right and higher than the PC's monitor. My pictures are truncated at the top, apparently using the height of the external monitor, but showing the slide show on the PC's screen, that is lower. 2) Vista and earlier used only pictures in the folder I specified. W7 is apparently looking around for other pictures, so is also showing pictures that are in other folders. Fortunately I don't have dirty pictures, but it shows pictures that I randomly took with my digital camera and felt no need to edit or delete. So dumb pictures of houses, people, etc. are included. Bummer. I hope Microsoft corrects these problems, They aren't show stoppers, but sure are annoying. TIA, Paul |

TIA, Paul 2) If you go to your screen saver settings, click Browse, and select your slideshow folder, does it seek pictures outside of that folder? I set it up like that on mine, and the only pictures it shows are the ones in my c:\slideshow folder. SC Tom Win7 Home Premium 32-bit |

TIA, Paul If you drag a window to another monitor BEFORE making it Full-screen, Windows will adjust the content to fit the screen. K |
