Screen Saver for Windows 7 that does photos AND video clips?

by glennbraden Dec 24, 2009 8:12AM PST

With both Windows XP and Vista I used the Windows screensaver to show randomly both .jpg photos AND .avi video clips taken with my Canon digital camera. With Windows 7 the screensaver shows only the still photos. I would very much like to be able to watch both. Any ideas? I am not a "techie" so please, please try to help me out.
Thanks,
Glenn

Havea look at the free Webshots

I for years have paid an annual premiun to WebShots . It does not do video clips and the review could be better.....but I have used the wallpaper and screen saver items regularly....then when I decided I wanted to send photos to people I paid the annual premium....you can also create a wallpaper or screensaver of these photos-or a slide show.

You can download and try the free version and give it a try

If you wish to add the photos one so you can send the photo links to friends you have to pay an annual premium
