screen savers

i am on windows 98, and i want to know how can u import a
screen saver either from a photo you already have saved on
your pc or from a website.

You need special software to create screen saver. Visual Basic is one of
them.
You need to know programming.

Just try here.

Hi,

By screen saver, you mean a static picture displayed as a "background"
for your desktop as opposed to a program that rotates images, etc. while
your PC is idle, right?

One way to do it is to right click your desktop, but not on an icon, and
select properties from the menu. Go to the "Background" tab and click
the browse button to navigate to the file you want to use. (You can also
get to the Display Properties by going to Control PanelDisplay.)

There are some freeware programs that accomplish this also, such as
Webshots: www.webshots.com. Irfanview, which is an image viewing/editing
tool, can also do it for you: http://www.irfanview.com

BTW, the terms "background" and "(desktop)wallpaper" mean the same
thing; screen saver usually refers to a program that rotates images or
animations.

Also, while viewing images on line, when you right-click somewhere in an
image you'll get a menu that includes "Set As Wallpaper...".

If they mean background all they have to do is
open the picture right click on it and select
Set as Background.

Hi,

That depends on what they are using for an image viewer; if it is IE,
then yes, that will work. Other image viewers don't necessarily work
that way. Many find IE to be a less than adequate image viewing utility,
the same goes for "Picture Viewer" or whatever it's called.

Actually, they don't. If you click the Pattern button,
you'll realize that you can have a background
without having wallpaper,

The bland green standard Windows background
that you get right after a fresh install,
before you have had a chance to select a wallpaper,
is just one example.

Hi,

Sure, I see what you mean. The wallpaper is actually in "front" of the
background, unless you select "none" as wallpaper, then you have a black
background, no matter what pattern you have chosen. But, rightly or
wrongly, the terms are often interchanged, probably because wallpaper
frequently covers (or can be set to cover) the entire screen and thus
becomes the background, at least as far the human eye is concerned.

You can make your own,
do a search at your favorite freeware site.

You can change the background to whatever color you want.
Mine is presently blue. Wallpaper is small pictures of grandkids,
and does not cover the whole screen. Can do whatever you choose.
