vista photos screen saver

Hello all
I saw at my friend house that there is a possibility to set the photos
screen saver to show the slide show in artistic way-like a designed photo
album.
I tried to find that option in my system but could not find it.I only have
the option to choose the slide show speed.
in the graphics experience score I have 3.5
does someone know what I can do?does this option only exist in some version
and in others does not?
thanks for the help
Alon

Hi Alon,

Do you have the option to check "Shuffle contents"? It should be there
under the Slide Show Speed. You will need to have more than one image in
the selected folder to.

See the drop box next to the text; Use this theme?

This is where you choose the type of slideshow the screen saver uses.

The one that sort of looks like a photo album is simply titled "Album"

hello Shawn and thank you for your response.
I guess you are right cause that is the only option left but I stiil
not 100% sure.in the windows experience index I have 3.5,and in the
graphic catagory I have 3.5,which is enough according to the help
section.about my graphic card-I'm using NVIDIA GEFORCE 8400 GS 256
MB-untill now I thought that this is a good video card...I guess it's
not good enough for vista...
do you think this is the problem?

Alon,

I suppose so. You can try using a newer video driver, if available,
and run the Windows Experience Index again to see if it helps any.

I only have a 2.5, so I guess I'll never know that feature. (LOL)

o.k so I did as you said-and updated my driver.it didn't help...
I talked with my friend(same one that on his machine I saw the album
option)he says he got NVIDIA GEFORCE 7400 so mine is better...again it
doesn't make any sense.maybe its something that gotta to do with the
version?he got vista ultimate 32 bit,and I got busniess edition 32
bit...
do you think that is the reason?
