Slide directory
I get an error message
You can either type in the directory name directly (c:\windows\360maui), or use the "Browse" button to display an open file dialogue. Navigate to the desired slides directory and select any file in the directory and click "OK".

Screen position
The whole reason for a screen saver is to keep a constant image from being "burned in" on the phosphor of your monitor's screen. To achieve this goal, by default the screen saver shows successive slides at random positions on the screen. If you're more obsessed with symmetry than the health of your monitor (or you have a non-CRT display that's not vulnerable to phosphor burn),
check "Center" to display each slide centered on the screen.

Show date and time
If checked, the date and time is displayed in discreet dark blue type above the slide image. If the image is too tall to fit on the screen along with the date
and time, it is automatically scaled to fit.

Show file name
If checked, the names of the current image and sound file
(if any) names are shown on a line above the slide. If a sound file is playing, its name follows that of image, separated by a plus sign, "+". If "Show date and time" is also checked, the file name(s) follow the date and time, enclosed in parentheses.

Show file type
If "Show file name" is checked and this box is also checked, the file type (or extension) such as .bmp will be included in the file name display. If you prefer to see just the file name, uncheck this box to hide the file type.

Change slides every n seconds
Slides will change at the given interval. If you've requested that sound files be synchronized with slides and, at the scheduled time to change slides the last sound is still playing, the change will be delayed until the sound completes.

Frequently Asked Questions
I installed your screen saver on our NT-based server, changing slides every three seconds, and now everybody complains the server takes forever to respond. What's the problem?   Whoa! Fancy screen savers (or even rudimentary ones, like this) are for single user machines that don't run background tasks. Loading, decoding, and displaying an image can take a substantial amount of CPU time, much more if the image must be quantised for display on 256 color graphics hardware. Servers should run a "blank screen" or other non-animated screen saver. If you must run this on a server or machine running background jobs, choose a long interval between slide changes, such as two minutes. How frequently are you apt to look at the screen, anyway?
