HP 500-054: want a screen saver to point to a specific personal photo album (not just generic 'photos')

My screen saver tells me 'Photos' or 'Photo Gallery'.  I want it to point to a specific folder of my photos to set up as a slide show.  Can I do this with my wallpaper, but how to do this with my screen saver?

    Does anyone know how to change the time to change the images to the screen saver?  It seems to change the photos very quickly and I wanted to add a little time before change the images.

    There is no apparent user settings to control the timing in screen savers.  Tell Apple what missing features you want restored or new features added in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • Screen saver does not work in the new update of El Capitan

    Comes through the new update to El Capitan (10.11.2) and now the screensaver will not automatically start using one of the hot corners.  I checked the preferences and assigned for each of the 4 corners screen saver and it does not work.  What is going on?

    Remove the screen saver preferences file. com Apple.Screensaver.com

    This file is located in the Preferences of your user library folder.

    In the Finder, select go from the menu bar, press the option/alt key and library should appear in the drop-down list.

    Click to open it in the Finder, go to Preferences, then move the screensaver in the trash preferences file. don't delete yet.

    Restart the mac. Enter the preferences you want to screen saver in system preferences.

    I hope it should work.

  • How can I keep the start screen saver in the same place every time?

    When you use the screensaver on Windows Vista,

    It always starts at the same point, with the same images - no other place.

    If the screen saver works long enough, you later see photos at the end.

    but it's several hours!

    It is set to randomly mix - but I think that is random within each file, and I have several files in 'photos '...

    Because it begins with the same file of photos, I never see the images in files at the end.

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    Hello Terrahterrah,

    I was looking for this thread and saw that you wanted the screensaver start on another folder or pick up where he left.

    Unfortunately, we cannot control this in Windows without constant human intervention.

    I would recommend looking for software third benefit from this feature.

    Best regards

  • Screen saver does not start automatically

    original title; SCREEN SAVER DOES NOT START AUTOMATICALLY

    My screensaver stopped automatically to come if I use an excerpt it's turns on and will remain lit.  How can I fix or can uninstall and reinstall?

    It becomes a problem growing with the screen savers. The issue is background programs and services that are enough tasks that the computer never thinks that it becomes "inactive". Programs cannot do any real work, but are cycling through their operations individual enough to keep the computer "awake".

    Try to start your computer with a "clean boot", (see Microsoft Support articles below). If this resolves the issue and you definitely want your screen saver, you'll have to discern what substantive programs and services that you can live without being active all the time, and turn them off.

    For what it's worth, the systems that I watched recently with this problem were 'smart phone' synchronization software recently installed and who is constantly looking for something to synchronize with regardles to know if they are connected to what whether or not. Change the start of these programs and services 'on demand' to 'always' solves the problem in these cases.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium switch user screen appears after that so much time has passed well that slowed after the SmileDesktop with screen saver is installed, but do not know how to stop it.

    I used the selective startup to the Office of Smile, which replaces and updates the old Webshots Desktop, which includes the automatic download and auto downloads of images from their site as well as a screen saver.

    There nothing good. rest after so many minutes I connect get back a windows screen does not cause me to lose any data or stop all processes. All running processes continue, but it's the nagging drawback of signing as myself to the computer after having been automatically set user to switch mode. It's probably the fault of this program. In addition, before this Webshots desktop update which included also a screen saver Windows update the eve told me don't not to unplug my computer and that she had to deal with several updates of windows, so I went and the computer stop moments later. The next day was when the message for an update has been waiting for the SmileDesktop program, which is a program that mimics Webshots Desktop, as well as replace the Webshots Desktop. After installed SmileDesktop automatically changed my screen saver settings that were on any mode SmileDesktop screen saver mode. I clicked on the option to disable screen saver. That's when I first noticed the screen splash appearing after that so many minutes of inactivity, change that said user and then I started to worry.
    Norton has found no problem with my computer, and
    Finally, I gave up.

    Hello

    Thanks for asking this question to Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly, you want to disable the fast user switching option. Could you please answer a few questions before moving?

    Since when are you facing the issue? Do you have any security program installed on the computer? How many accounts is configured on the computer? Have you done a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    Here is an article that will help you to turn off the fast user switching option. Alternatively, you can uninstall Office to smile and check if it helps. You can also make the screen saver password that is built into Windows. Follow these steps:

    (a) open screensaver settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type screen saver, and then uncheck the box for password game screen.

    Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

  • Add to the list of screen saver.

    How can I add to the list of screen savers that come with my computer?  Copy and paste or cut?

    Hi Bodog1722,

    Well, an option for an additional screen saver is to make a slideshow of photos or videos stored on your hard drive.

    Not a cut and paste, but not too much more complicated than that. Here are the instructions:

    http://www.tech-recipes.com/Rx/2600/vista_screen_saver_from_photos_and_videos/

    There are several sites where you can also find screensavers to download. Be sure to do it and make sure it is a reputable site or your anti-virus software before you download the scanner software. It is after all over the internet.

    This is such an option: http://www.screensavers.com/category/nature

    When you download and install the software, it is added to the list of screensavers.

    Hope this helps,

  • I can't find the pictures being shown in Windows 7 screen saver!

    In the screen saver Windows 7, if I choose the "Photos" option, it shows a lot of pictures that I can't find on the computer, despite navigating to the folder, to what it seems.

    The photos are a mixture of holiday snaps, images that I never saw before and other images of type system, for example standard SatNav screenshots.

    How can I find where on the computer of these photos are taken from? I have walked my HDD, conducted the research of windows but also to check the option to show hidden files and folders with no luck.

    Hello ChrisMartinFX,

    Have you checked to show hidden files?  I would like to suggst confirming this is defined first, but if you are unable to locate the photo I opened Windows Explorer and type in .jpg to see if you can find it.  I know that this may take time if you have hundreds of pictures.

    If you go to the screen saver settings, you should be able to see in the settings tab where the pictures come from.

  • Not random screen saver?

    I have configured Windows 7 in order to customize my desktop to use Windows Live Photo Gallery. I chose a directory on my hard drive that contains more than 10,000 images in different subdirectories. I chose the option to 'shuffle '. However I continue to see the same set of pictures when the screen saver is used. Files that are repeated are not at the root of the chosen directory, but the few that repeat are dispersed well however the selected hierarchy. All a bit boring as for so many images (and so many memories), it is the same terdious see a few times.

    I solved my problem.  I recently used a USB stick to copy photos from another machine on the PC in question.  Obviously, I failed the disc of an inch when I had finished, which not only screwed to the top of the shuffle on my screen saver feature, but also wouldn't let me copy, move or delete the file I had copied to.  I plugged the thumb disc EJECTED then the USB and back in.  I was then able to work in the copied folder AND my screensaver Gallery Live was back to normal, shuffle and all.

  • Screen saver turns on and the keyboard or the mouse you want to start over.

    I bought a HP Pavilion desktop computer PC p6-2016 and started to use December 10, 2011. It goes into screen save mode and won't wake up. The HP screen comes without office or on what I was working on. Some time it turns on and does not display Desktop. I have you turn off and on again (2 or 3 times) to operate. Help!

    Make sure that you use the blue VGA cable OR white DVI cable to connect your pc to the screen. If both cables are connected, the pc can see the monitor as two different monitors, which can cause the behavior that you are experiencing.

  • Photo Album using for screen saver

    I would like to use a photo album for my screensaver. I did it in the past with iPhotos and Photos.

    Using OS 10.11.16 on MacBook Air

    Photos 1.5

    I moved my old library of Photos on a hard drive that I needed storage space.

    Succeeded in creating a new photo library.

    Went in system preferences to set up the screen saver as I did in the past.

    Can 'see' the new photo library, but it is shaded on so I can't choose it as my screensaver.

    I opened and closed applications and restart the computer.

    I could choose a picture of pictures for my desktop image

    Have you turned on the photo library as your system library system in Photos preferences > general tab, after you have created the new photo library?

    "Use as a Photo library system" option should be grayed out in the Photos > Preferences > general, when you view the library you want to use for your saving screen and with other applications.  If 'Use as a Photo library system' is not grayed out, click it.  Then log market once again before trying to activate your album as a source of the screen saver.
