Publisher's description of Picture and Sound Show

From Joel Technologies:

The Picture and Sound Show is a 32-bit screensaver for Windows that enables you to create your own slide shows from pictures and sounds on your computer. Each slide show has many customization options that control picture and sound order, picture position, transition effects, picture captions, and background patterns. There is no limit to the number of different slide shows that can be created, and the screensaver can automatically switch between slide shows at fixed intervals, or when the screensaver has been run a certain number of times. The Picture and Sound Show also can create customized screensavers for you to either use on your computer or to send to family or friends. Version 3.1d includes unspecified updates.

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Picture and Sound Show 3.1d

Although not powerful enough for professional use, this free screensaver-creation tool makes a nice pick for most other folks. Picture and Sound Show's interface is accessible only via the screensaver panel in your PC's Display menu, which may confuse some users, but seems convenient enough to us. Clicking the Settings tab lets you choose your own photos and music files, set the image interval, determine the order of the slides, and apply a number of different transition effects. If you want to additionally customize your show, you can change the background color, reposition the images, and add captions. That's all fine and well if you're just making a screensaver for personal use, but you can't save your creations as SCR or EXE files for widespread distribution. Still, we recommend this application to home users looking for an easy and totally free way to dress up their desktop.

  "Best screen saver ever, if you have folders of pictures"

  by dcwttaoo1 on May 26, 2008

  Pros: I have 30 folders of pictures, over 50K, and all you do is add each folder, and boom, there are your pictures.

  Cons: I only wish he made a desktop version too.

  "Just What I Wanted"

  by devices on October 29, 2007

  Pros: Just installed it...easy to use and worked fine with my XP.

  I recommend u read the 'README' so ya know what's going on.

  (Installs to /system32...access prog options thru Windows Screen Saver)

  Great to have sound options - bonus.

  Would've liked to have seen a cross fade/in/out transition but hey...

  can't have everything - can't complain about the price!

  "Wouldn`t Work"

  by Rusty19 on May 5, 2008

  Pros: I like the idea of it, screensaver with sound and it is easy to set up and use, it worked well when I clicked preview....but that is a far as it went.

  Cons: Evertime I clicked apply and closed the properties menu it switched back to "none" so the screensaver would never start. I had to uninstall it to get my other screensavers to work properly.

  "Couldn't install"

  by Saint Ives on May 3, 2008

  Cons: The download was fast and smooth, but when I tried to install it on my Vista computer it wouldn't load so I really can't say if its a good program or not.
