How to make a photo into a screensaver

[nabob]

Just had a great holiday and would love to know how to make some of the photos ( from a digital camera with sd card ) my screensaver. I have hp photosmart premier but don't know a lot about it. Can anyone give me details please?!!!

Thanks !

These instruction will work with Windows Millennium and XP. (They'll probably work with 98, 98SE and Vista as well but I've not tried them with those operating systems):

Create a folder, somewhere on your hard drive, to hold your selected photos. (If you don't know how to do that, just ask).

Transfer the photos you require from your media card to the new folder. (Ask if you don't know how).

Right-click on your desktop. Select 'Properties'. Click on the 'Screensaver' tab. From the menu, select 'My pictures screensaver'. Click 'Settings' and then 'Browse'. Navigate to the folder which holds your pictures and click on it. Click 'OK'. Adjust the other settings, in the panel, to your requirements. Click 'OK'. Click 'Apply. Click 'OK'.

You can also set a picture as you desktop background so it is on your desktop all the time rather than waiting till your screensaver kicks in.

Download your pictures to your computer, find one you like, RIGHT click on the photo, and then from the menu select "Set as Desktop Background"
