• It works great!

  Pros

  Does everything I need it to do

  Cons

  Haven't noticed any in the few months I've been using it now

  Summary

  I'm not sure why this software has only 1 star out of the two previous votes given here. It does just what it's supposed to and in the 3 months or so that I've been using it now, I haven't noticed any bugs or glitches. My OS at the moment is Windows Vista, and I have my notebook hooked to my 50 inch TV with an HD cable. Whenever I'm about to step away from the computer for any extended length of time I use this program to instantly activate the slideshow screensaver (which I have set as my double-click default) that plays my collection of hundreds of gorgeous high-def widescreen pictures in pan and zoom mode at medium speed, gathered from various wallpaper sites on the web. However, right-clicking brings up a menu from which, among other things, you can specify another default screen saver from whichever ones you have available on your system, or select from a sub-list of the others if you feel like a temporary change of pace. You can even choose randomization. This program takes away nothing from my system's available screen saver options, and adds so much more. It has a bunch of other features that I don't feel the need to use. Before this one, I first tried two other manual-activation screen saver softwares. One could appear in the system tray (which is a feature I prefer to have) but had no more available options or customizable features and for some reason couldn't be configured to load upon startup. The other software I tried could be activated by using a desktop icon, which I didn't want on my desktop, or a quick launch button, which often became unresponsive for some reason. It had more features than the first one, but was still not all that customizable. Then I found this one. I normally don't bother trying out software here that has a low rating, but I made an exception, and I'm really glad I did. It was just what I'd been looking for and I couldn't be happier with it.

• Good Program With A Flaw Read Below

  Pros

  Works well with Vista sp1 64 bit

  Cons

  It installs G Photo tool bar in your Internet Explorer. (Not Good).

  Summary

  I UN-Installed the tool bar had a lot of problems with the XML files, They plastered my desktop. After deleting all of the XML files off my desktop, rebooting my computer Everything seems to work fine (Internet Explorer, and My Home Page is back in order). The Program (Control SS) seems to be working fine also. So Be Very Careful with this program. I was a Lucky One. "TWO STAR RATING"
