Windows 7 slideshow gadget help

Post by Brewbirds »

Okay computer savvy Borg here's the deal...

I see that there is a "gadget", which I don't know what that means, in All Programs on my W7, but I can't get it to give me instructions on how to use it.

I want to put the photos of the blooming plants in the yard (I shared them with you at Easter) on my monitor to run as a slide show.

Can you guys help where it is tech dummy possible for me to do this??

We've got someone coming back for a second look at the house and I think that would look nicer than just the turned off monitor sitting on the tabletop.

:thanks: and :cheers:

Using a screensaver with your screen locked would be easiest.

UPDATE:

After saying he didn't have a clue BB2 (my hero :rolleyes: ) figured it out and I think we are good to go.

Now if you will all send "by their house" vibes our way it would be greatly appreciated.

Boy you got that right RB, its buy, buy, buy! :banana:

The house is as spiffy as I can get it. Wish they'd come early so we could watch football, sounds like the good games are on while we are out of the house.
