Subject: Oh Great Computer Gurus, I Beeseech Thee For Help!

Written By: XenaKat13 on 02/13/03 at 09:35 a.m.

I see a lot of people with screensavers that look like PowerPoint slide shows.  Some are of inspirational messages, interesting scenery or family photos.

I would like to do the same on my computer but I don't know how.  Can anyone give me a quick tutorial?

I can make a slideshow, but I don't know how to tell my computer to use it as a screensaver.

Or would I need to use a different program altogether?

Look at tucows or download.com for a screensaver creator - there used to be loads of freebie ones to play with

Also check your various photo editing programs that you may already have loaded - I have about five and all of them have a "create slideshow" option in them.
