    Photo screen saver won't work.


    My system Froze up and went to a black screen; upon reboot it wouldn't get past the BIOS load screen. I reset the CMOS and now everything works fine except an issue with the photo screen saver. The other screen savers work, but the photo screen saver will not. When I try to go into settings with the photos screen saver selected it looks like it loads something but nothing pops up, and then the screen saver window becomes unusable. It doesn't freeze but it acts like there is a second dialog box open and it's waiting for you to finish with that dialog box (if you know what I mean). I can't preview with photos selected either, but it doesn't become unusable.

    I would be more concerned with what caused the major crash than little problem with the photo ss.

    For that you can try running
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    If you can find a c:\windows\minidump folder and zip the contents of it and attach it to your next post that would be great.
    If there's nothing in there or the folder doesn't exist nevermind, I'm just curious what caused the hard reset.

    Welcome to SevenForums,

    Would yo help us by completing your system specs?

    UPDATE YOUR SEVENFORUMS SYSTEM SPECS


    User CP (3rd item in the top menu bar) |
    in left-hand column, under Your Profile, Edit System Spec |


    Use Speccy - System Information - Free Download
    and/or SIW to gather info for filling in the blanks.

    Do me a favor and add the word laptop or desktop to the “system manufacturer” block.

    Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader, Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor

    Scroll down and click on the SAVE CHANGES button.
    =======================
