Can't make it run?
If you're having trouble getting an older program to run on Windows XP, try the Program Compatibility Wizard. Click "Start", "All Programs", "Accessories", and then select "Program Compatibility Wizard". It doesn't work with every program, but it can often help.

Use Photos as Slide Show Screensaver (XP)
First, select the pictures you want to use and set up a special folder with those pictures in it and make a note of where you saved that folder (in what place, on what drive, and so on). You will need this info later.
Next, go to your Desktop, and right-click on the Desktop.
Scroll down to "Properties", click the "Screensaver" tab. Toward the middle of this dialog box there is a drop-down box with the words "Screen Saver". Scroll down that box until you see the "My Pictures Slideshow" and click it. To the right of this drop-down box is a button that says "Settings". Click it.
You should see the words "Use pictures in this folder" and a "Browse" button. Click this button. This is where you look for that file you created earlier with all the digital pictures that you want to use for the screensaver slideshow. After you have found the file folder with with your pictures, click "OK".
You can now adjust how fast you want the pictures to change and so on, Then click "OK" again. This brings you back to the "Display Properties" dialog box and you can see your screensaver pictures. Click "OK" and you're all finished.

Attaching files to Email
To attach a file to an Email in Outlook or Outlook Express, click the paper-clip icon, choose the file and click "OK". Repeat to attach additional files.
Remember to let the recipient know you'll be sending an attached file - it's dangerous to open unexpected attachments especially if you don't recognize the sender and, even if you do, exercise some caution. And try to keep the total size below 1MB. If the files are bigger than that, consider sending them over a period of a few days.
