Default My Pictures Screen Saver

I have copied the My Pictures Screen Saver file (*.scr) from a computer
running a later version of Windows (as W98 doesn't have it) and it appears in
the screen saver box, however it doesn't work and no settings can be seen.
Does anyone know of any other files that are associated with it and need to
be copied too?

Thanks

Daniel

The My Pictures Screen Saver option is from Windows ME, and it is not likely to work
in Win98. There are other free third-party utilities that will allow you create
slideshow screensavers in all versions of Windows. One such application is the free
image viewer, Irfan View:
