Running a video as screensaver in Windows7
Running a video as screensaver in Windows7
Some of you may have seen my posting in the Vista forum on how to run a video as screensaver (http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/250126-run-video-screensaver-tutorial.html ). This method does not work in Windows7. There is, however, another method for Windows7 that accomplishes the same goal.
For that you have to go via Windows Live Photo Gallery. If you do not have it yet on your system, download it from Windows Live Essentials ( http://download.live.com/?wa=wsignin1.0 ).
Then do the following steps:
· Open Live Essentials Photo Gallery
· Click on File
· Click on > Screen Saver Settings (This will open the Screen Saver Settings)
· Browse to your folder with the video and open it (OK)
· In the Use this theme list box, select Album
· Then do Save
· Now run Preview and see whether it works
Remind you that the video format must be .wmv. If you have another format, convert it with Format factory ( http://www.formatoz.com/ )
