Tnx Brink. However, I have a Starter edition. When I right click on the desktop I do not have option Personalize.

I found *.scr files in system 32 folder then took photoscrsaver and made a link to the desktop. Then when I click that link the screensaver starts. A roundabout solution!

Premaks,

I'm happy to hear that you found a workaround for now, but if you like, let's see if we may be able to sort this for you for good and proper.

Are you sure that you are mean Vista Starter and not Windows 7 Starter??

Vista Starter should have Personalize as below. Now, Windows 7 Starter doesn't though.

Sorry Brink! You are right. I thought it was the same thing. Winver says Windows 7 Starter.
Version 6.1. Build 7601. Service Pack 1.
