You are able to use your own pictures as a screen saver in Vista and in XP. I will go through the steps for Vista specifically. The photo screen saver also has different slide show and transition options to play around with.
- To go into the screensaver settings click on “Start” and then the “Control Panel”
- Select “Appearance and Personalization”
- Now click on “Personalization”
- Click on “Change Screen Saver”
- Click on the button to open the list of screensaver options and select “Photo”
- Now click on the “Settings…” button to browse for your images
- You can also pick a theme and adjust the slide show speed from this dialog box
- When finished click “Save” and “OK”

Have tried this several times with the entire “My Pictures” foler and with sub-folders, but nothing happens … just a black screen
Wanting to put my photos on has a screen saver but it’s not letting me see the save to click on
