I didn't try to set up the photo screen saver until I had already put a
lot of stuff on the hard drive, but the first time I tried to use it I
got the error message that it wasn't working. I hope this and some of
the other problems I've encountered since purchasing my first computer
with "Vista" will be fixed in the upcoming service pack.

I am having problems as well. I have Window's Vista Home Edition. I've saved
many pictures from the net and the screensaver was working fine till a couple
days ago. Now it doesn't come up with my pictures. Instead its a black screen
with "no picture" in the file. I opened my picture file and there are
pictures there. Any ideas??

I have loaded the service pack as soon as I had my new computer with Vista.
The screen saver worked for a few days, then it suddenly did not. No error
messages. My screen continues to show whatever is on dispaly, e.g., desktop,
etc.

same problem here, no error message, it just stays on my desktop background
and never goes to my screensaver, may the Gods be with someone smarter than
me who can help us!
