Video screensaver

Solved

Hello,

I just changed my computer and moved from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
On my Vista, I had set a folder with images and videos as a screensaver, and while the computer was in sleep mode, the videos played correctly without sound.

I wanted to know if it's possible to do the same thing with Windows 7, to play videos without sound along with images as a screensaver.

P.S.: I also wanted to ask if it's possible for the images to fade into each other because on Windows 7 they switch from one to another, and I don't really like that.

Thanks in advance!

By going to Control Panel, then Appearance and Personalization, and then Personalization. At the bottom right, you have Screen Saver, click on it and choose "Photos" from the dropdown list, then Settings... and select your folder as well as the speed, etc.

I don't know if it will read videos for you; it seems to me that it won't, and in that case, I don't have the solution.

Yes, I did it but it doesn't play the videos, it's not a big deal, I'll stick to the images, thank you.

However, there's a problem: instead of putting my screensaver, it's a black screen, and yet I selected "never turn off the screen." How is that possible?

I'm on a laptop, so I don't know if you have those options.
Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Change plan settings.
Do you have this menu? And I'll explain the next steps...

Yes, I have them, but I feel that it’s when I want the computer to go to sleep in 10 minutes because I tried it at 1 minute to see and the photos were indeed there; could it be that by any chance?
