Picture and Sound Show for Windows

Used Picture and Sound Show for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 8, 2008

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.

How Do I???
7CavApril 12, 2012
Pros
Everything!
Cons
None at all so far
Summary
How do I send my custom SRC to someone??....It says I can do this but no mention as to how!
Lacks good transitions / Can't arrow forward or back.
RonS7December 31, 2011
Pros
I suppose this program is ok.
Cons
No fade transition. Can't use left and right arrow keys to move forward or back.
Summary
I set it up just long enough to discover it does not offer fade as one of the transitions. I wouldn't care if a pic show screen saver walks with a limp and a cane as long as it smoothly and effectivly fades one image out and the next in and allows left and right arrow keys reviewing. Keep the sound options and all the other glitz. Windows 7 Photo Show is perfect except for lacking fade as a transition.

Summary
IT'S A SCREENSAVER THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN WINDOWS
joegeeksAugust 8, 2009
Pros
Sound option with the screensaver??? if thats a pro.
Cons
Windows already provides you this type of screensaver. Some moron bumps your mouse and it's all over - A POS as far as I am concerned. This is clearly mis-filed under "Slide Show" and not "SCREEN SAVER"
Summary
All these reviewers must be brain dead - Why do we need another slide show viewer that windows already provides - this is too highly rated for what it provides
Perfect screensaver for my own photo collections
IcebrgMarch 28, 2009
Pros
This screensaver makes it really easy to use my own personal pics. I simply choose a folder or folders to display and and that's about it. Settings include duration, transistions, etc. I've used this for many y ears and it's exactly what I need.
Cons
I really can't think of any!
Summary
If you want an easy to use screensaver that uses your own photo collections then this is the one for you.
It worked on Windows 98
girloftheseasFebruary 21, 2009
Pros
I made a very simple screen saver of two gifs on Windows 98, something that the first 5 screen saver makers I downloaded from download.com, could not do, although they said they did.
Cons
The interface is not that self-explanatory. Perhaps a careful reading of the help pages will yield some rewards. Unclear how to preview transitions - or preview at all.
Summary
So far, I'm reasonably happy, but only tried it a little. Compared to the 5 other screen saver makers that didn't work that I tried first from download.com, I'm ecstatic, although that isn't saying much, LOL.
Not for Vista
nyteprowlerDecember 18, 2008
Pros
Unknown. Not usabile on Vista.
Cons
Even though the download.com listing states that it is usable on Vista. It is not. The read me text associated with it makes no mention of its usability with Vista.
Summary
Easy to install works great
August 7, 2008
Pros
Had to install for Windows Server 2003, it was really simple
Cons
Summary
Best screen saver ever, if you have folders of pictures
dcwttaoo1May 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.
Summary
Wouldn`t Work
Rusty19May 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.
