horizontal rule

  1. Go to Start | Settings | and select Control Panel
  2. Click "Display" and select the "Screensaver" tab.
  3. Select "QuakerSaver" if it is not already selected. Click the "Settings..." button.
  4. The QuakerSaver program window will pop-up. Select the "Settings" button from this window.
    NOTE: If you want to password-protect your screensaver, you must set it at this screen, not the Windows' screen.
  5. On the "Screen Saver" tab, you may set your own start time. It is recommended that you set the Display to 5 seconds for each image. Anything longer just keeps the image too long.
  6. Make sure that the "Enlarge" selection is unchecked and tile the pictures is checked(your choice here--it looks better tiled though because the pictures themselves don't fill the screen and the effects are not noticable if they are not tiled)
  7. Make sure "Random Image Order" is checked, and "Show Picture Titles" is unchecked; there are no titles. Also make sure "Sound Effects" is selected. Everything else on this tab is your choice.
  8. Slect the "Effects" tab.
  9. Make sure the Duration is set to "Long" and all of the effects are checked.
