These were pics that are kept in C:\Documents and Settings\My name\My Documents\My Pictures. When I want to change to a different selection of pics,I remove the folder of " My pictures" from the above and replace it with another of the same name but with my new selection for "My Pictures slideshow" in it. I then go to the list of available selections, 3D Flower Box, 3 D pipes,3D Flying Objects etc. and choose " My pictures slideshow". It has always defaulted to the current folder listed above under " my Documents" as "My Pictures". However this time, on this computer, it isn't doing that. It is still defaulting to the Christmassy ones which are no longer stored there. I have never had this happen before and it is frustrating to me. Thanks eveyone for your suggestions. Hopefully I can soon get it. ivamae

I am interested in that also, googled your question and came up with this. The first is for W 7, Vista instructions are next. Here is a link that might be useful: Two photos This post was edited by EmmaR on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 12:31

Most likely something is keeping it awake processing. Maybe it you havent already .. set the screensaver to two minutes or something short,,, and if you leave task manager open and select cpu menu probably twice to bring most active cpu users to the top then press the 'Show processes for all users' Keep an eye on it... should have idle processes showing something like 98% at top.... its the items just under that that might show cpu activity ... that would be the likely cuplrit.... (i usually highlight the next item and watch it bouncing).

Jerry, The default location is: C:\Documents and Settings\LOGIN NAME\My Documents If they have been moved, you can right-click on desktop, select properties, screensaver tab, click on settings for "my picture slideshow" and location will be in a box. HTH. Terry
