Thanks Igor. I won't get tripped up by this again, but perhaps others will. Fixing it would be awesome!

Hi Guido. I was just returning to say that I figured it out. It wasn't obvious, but now that I see it, it makes total sense. Under the Screen options, I had the box to "show transition effect to desktop after last slide" checked. Once I unchecked that, it works as expected. Sorry for not figuring this out sooner, and thanks for the effort! Eileen

David, Well it's nice to know it's not just me, but wouldn't you think a screen saver would run continuously until someone reactivates things by either hitting the keyboard or moving the mouse? That's how all the windows screen savers work.

I'm using 4.30, but did download the 4.32 beta. Maybe I'll try that. Yes, I do have a song that plays for the duration of the slide show. Does that matter? What I meant by the quoted item is that if my machine has 5 minutes of inactivity set for when the screen saver turns on, here's what happens. 5 minutes goes by, my screen saver plays, then another 5 minutes goes by before it plays again. I expect that a screen saver would play continuously. No?

Yes. I selected that, plus the option to repeat the show until the escape key is pressed.

Been lurking for a while, but now I have a problem that I need to post... I'm using version 4.30. Decided to try out the screen saver option. I thought I had all the bases covered -- I selected "create screen saver" and checked the "repeat show until ESC is pressed", but something is still wrong. The screen saver is created and runs, but just once. The slide show ends, waits the appropriate delay time, and only then begins again. I was expecting a contunuous loop. Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks tons. I appreciate the help! And yes, I did a search prior to posting.
