Windows 8 slideshow screensaver

• Windows 7 Photo Screensaver slide show the maximum number of Images? Recommended file specifications?

  I use Photos as a screensaver as described here:
  • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/
  It seems that if I have too many image files for the photos as screensaver. After the screen saver slide show has worked for at least 20 minutes, it lags behind trying to leave the screen saver and return to the desktop.
  What are the specifications of file recommended for use of photos as a screen saver?
  • file size in MB (which resembles all default values in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
  • dimensions maximum file (which looks like all default values in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
  • types of files (extensions)
  • maximum number of images supported

  When you look at the pictures in my file they all seem to be in the 2 MB and range 1920 x 1200. So my only guess is that having too many is the problem. It does not lag when I change the directory of C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper. I'm only here a hypothesis, some data of real functional specs would help immensely.

• With the help of Windows Live Essentials Screensaver

• Photos in slideshow / screensaver appear backwards on Apple TV 4

  Apple TV 4th generation

  A lot of my photos are displayed backwards in my photostream slide (or when I'm with photostream as screen saver) on my Apple TV 4.

  Here are the first pictures directly from the camera of the iPhone which have not been published and are correctly oriented in all applications except on Apple TV.  And I never use 'Orientation Lock' on my phone, so it is not a cause.

  Is there a setting that throws this off, or is this something that I would like to report?  I tried hard reset of the device, to reorient the images in the camera (even if they are not turn first of all, I've just turn them a complete 360deg so it records a change) and by selecting another slide show, nothing done.

  Looking forward to responses, thanks!

  Interesting. I wonder if there's a device smart detection of orientation and returning accordingly; talk about "headspace operator excesses."

  Just incidentally, I do not think that a 360 degree rotation has an effect; Pictures knows there has been no change. Rotation 180, rotates 180, made, would have more effect, but could make no difference here.

  You must report this to https://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html

• Screensaver connection error: Direct3D 9.0 is required to run this screen saver, but cannot be found. Please install the latest version of DirectX and try to re-run the screen saver.

  Original title: error Login screen saver.

  When at the login screen Windows screen saver is not running. The circle of 'thinking' of the mouse pointer starts to turn, but it just goes back to the login screen. I created all 4 strings in the HKEY_USERS\. Default\Control Panel\Desktop\ including ScreenSaveActive = 1, ScreenSaverIsSecure = 0, ScreenSaveTimeOut = 60 and SCRNSAVE. EXE = C:\Windows\(our custom screensaver). Instead of our custom screensaver I also put the windows mystify screensaver in the key but the Directx 9.0 3D error pops up. Any suggestions?

  Note: The Customs and the Windows screen savers that work both when a user is connected.

  UltraVNC seemed to work very well with win 7, but the only software of remote that I know works without fail and control on a very consistent basis, is the enterprise version of RealVNC. Yes, it costs money, but it is comparable to microsoft RDP, with additional features. They have a free version that does not cost any money and it's missing a few features. In a corporate environment, I am sure that this version is a no no.

• Windows 7 photo screen saver not the 'options' has Vista, how to do i.e. sepia options, transition, random, sizing, etc.

  I notice that my Windows Vista Photo Screensaver has options to display photos, sepia, randomly, stretching, transition, sizing of the images etc, and Windows 7 has only a speed option.  What happened to the other options and how to really customize the screensaver?  It seems that the picture for the screen saver option has been reduced and made vary credits for display.  I have a laptop of Acer Thinline 4810 t - 4508 with Windows 7, Intel SU4100 and 4G of DDR3 memory.

  Windows Photo Gallery Slideshow Screensaver does not support themes in Windows 7. To work around the problem, you can use the "Windows Live Photo Gallery" since it incorporates a similar screensaver that supports themes.

• Q - Slideshow Screen Saver problem (s)

  # 3 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/565239?tstart=0 here I describe the components I just used to build a new computer for my wife... to display the key points being a motherboard ASUS and ATI video card... the two are, as far as I know, very good brands

  Using WinXP Pro, with all updates from MS, I have a problem with the built-in slideshow screensaver

  Sometimes it starts not at all and other times it starts and stops after a few photos... He showed up in his Kodak pictures directory, which has 2-3 dozen of subdirectories and (I guess here) more than a thousand JPG images (can be a GIF or TIF once in a while, but above all to JPG)

  Anyone know about the inner workings of the WinXP slideshow screensaver?

  Are there too many pictures and it gets confused and won't start or continue to run?

  She REALLY likes to have a slide show as screensaver, and I can't understand why one that comes with Windows XP does not

  When I finally build an i7 computer, I think I'll keep silent as relative velocities

  Probably a wise move!

  Good luck
