Two more questions from a novice:
1. I thought I saw a way to make a slideshow from a screensaver I
have just created, but I can't find it. If this could be done, it
would save time. Can it?
2. Once I have created a screensaver and am using it, can I get it
back and add an image to it? I forgot to put in one photo and caught
the dickens for it from my wife, so I did the whole thing over and
made sure that I included the forgotten image.
Thanks for all the help you folks provide!

Not sure what you mean. xatshow screensavers (.EXEs) are both screensaver and
slideshow.

You have to save your project first, then you can reload it and add an image
etc. See the Save anf Open buttons.

If you forget to save you have to start again ..

Sorry about No. 1. I guess I'm using the wrong term. When I
wrote "slideshow," I meant making a Video CD DVD slideshow for
burning onto a CD which I can play in my DVD player and see on tv.
Can I duplicate or convert the screensaver into a Video CD DVD
slideshow instead of having to go through the entire process again?

If you click on the VideoCD tab you can use the same pictures and settings. If
you close xatshow you must first save your settings with the Save button and
load them next time with the Open button.
