Windows Xp Ssmypics.scr Download

1. Windows Xp Ssmypics.scr Download Version

Congratulations - you've now fixed the bug in the screen-saver, which gave an error when I scrolled back thro the pics. But I still don't get the file-name with each pic displayed.Both these features worked well with Windows XP over 10 years ago!John MacdiarmidThe quickest and simplest method I recall for Windows 7 was to copy 'ssmypics.scr' from C:WindowsSystem32 from a windows XP machine and paste into the same folder on Windows 7. I have checked and it works on Windows 10.It doesn't matter if you are using a 32 bit or 64 bit install of Windows 10, the process is the same.Once pasted, click continue and then go to settings - lock screen - screen saver settings.You can download the file from here, if you don't have access to an XP Machine.If you need additional help or have more questions or details to share, please join the site so you can reply in this thread.

The screensaver options on Microsoft 7 are grossly inferior to those provided on XP. I want a screensaver that shows photos from a file on my PC in a VARYING random order, not always the same order. I want a screensaver that does NOT resize photos so they are all huge and (originally) 'smaller' pictures look all blurry. I want a screensaver that has varying transitions like the 'My Pictures Slideshow' that was on Windows XP not just one choice of (really lumpen, unsubtle) change from one photo to another, again and again. Windows 7 is a real dog.

Really inflexible and apparently designed for people who have no knowledge of computing whatsoever. Infuriating in its inflexibility. Does anyone know how I can get the Windows XP style 'My Pictures Slideshow' screensaver loaded on Windows 7? Or is this just another example of Microsoft enforcing backward steps whether people like it or not?:(. In Windows XP, we had a very good screensaver showing pics, called ssmypics.scr. If we wanted, it showed pix filenames, which is important to a lot of us. When displaying thousands of pics at random, it is useful to see what they refer to.

Windows 7 broughtus many good things, we were told, but we lost the option to show filenames.A turnaround was proposed by the IT community, in copying ssmypics.scr from our windows XP to some Win7 folder. And it worked.Today, it no longer works, though my ssmypics.scr is still there. I guess the automatic update that sometimes happens decided I had to go back to the new, worse, screen saver.How do I recover a function that I paid for, with no time limit?Thank you, JMS.
