Using my touch screens as a slide show?

[68sting]

I would like to use my 2 3500 Fujitsus as slide show picture frames when not in use. I've looked around for a free program to do this and can't find one. If anyone has a recommendation or thoughts on this let me know. Any reason this would be a bad idea?



Thanks

Lance

Isn't there a screensaver that does this?

I use the built in screen saver in Windows XP. Works great I even have it shutting off the monitor after a while.

Windows 2000 doesn't have that feature.

Sorry, didn't realize you were on W2K. I know there was an aftermarket photo screen saver. Just can't remember what it is.

I've found a few that said they were free but once you download them they tell you its a free trial. I assumed other people are doing this and might have found a nice free one.

Have you checked to see if Google's Picasa screensaver will meet your needs? It runs on W2k and the price is right..

Thanks its working great. I still have a few details to try and work out but it looks good.

I think you can take an XP box and create a directory under the root for the pictures, then map that in the XP screensaver. Once all is working well copy the .scr file and the picture directory over to the real box. It's possible just moving the scr file will allow for this.

I use a freeware program called http://www.irfanview.com/ to make slide shows and screensavers. I believe it only works with Windows though.

I just found this too and it works great. Better randomizing than XPs built-in one.

Between this thread and my wife saying "didn't we just see that picture" over and over, I figured it was time to try something new.
