Windows 7 Desktop Background Slideshow Not Working

[cgrim29588]

I right clicked on the desktop and clicked Personalize and for the desktop background I selected a few images for a slide-show, but the desktop slide-show is not working. Help!

Please fill in your system specs. http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/23726-how-system-specs.html
If you have a laptop, check in Power Options to make sure it is enabled.

I'm having problems finding all my system specs as all the images in that thread you linked me to won't open.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Type msinfo.exe into the run dialog.

 

[cgrim29588]

I did but I can't figure out where everything is that I need to put in my system specs.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Do you have a laptop or a desktop?

Desktop

Yeah, try downloading the drivers for your sound card from the manufacturer.

Hi cgrim29588

Try double clicking the theme you want, it should put it down in background slide show, now click slide show you should be able to set how often you want them to change. Let us know if it works or we'll try another solution.

Sound has nothing to do with my problem.

I am sorry, I got confused. Try going to Control Panel>Power Options and make sure the slide show is enabled.

Okay slide show is on and is working, but I still want to add my system specs to my profile.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Glad it is working. To find your specs, run msinfo32.exe and gather the info from the System Summary and the Components sub-menu.

 

[cgrim29588]

That is just had to understand and find exactly what your looking for is there a easier way?

 

[Jonathan_King]

Not really, without using a third-party app like Speccy.

 

[cgrim29588]

Okay I got my system specs and have added them to my profile.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Good for you. Should we mark this thread as solved? Click on the red triangle next to the rep button, and request that this be marked as solved.

Slide show not working

I set up the slide show, select the time interval and the initial slide is diaplayed and never changes. Am I missing something?

Just saw message about power settings. Slide show was 'paused'. Problem solved.
