Windows 7: Video as screensaver

It was great finding this thread on how to make a .wmv movie file play as a screensaver. It was working fine until about 2/3 of the way through when it locked up with the frame frozen on the screen. After waiting awhile longer, the screen went black except for a "filmstrip" icon in the center of the screen. Has anyone seen this problem, and know how to fix it? Thanks..

I have an idea as to why this may be happening.. Are you using a very long vodeo file ? I.e over 15 - 20 seconds or is it in a hd format??

Hi and thanks for replying so quickly. Yes this is a long video file several minutes long, and I also think it may be in hd format. I have several video format conversion tools so maybe I should try something? I can attach or send you the video file if that would help.

hi<, can someone, help me please, i've downloaded few videos from youtube into my pc and converted it into .wmv as stated above but i can't get into pass through this step:

In the Use this theme list box, select Album
· Then do Save
· Now run Preview and see whether it works

My computer says,"This computer's video card can't play themes." can someone tell me what should I do please?? ASAP.
