[QUOTE="MacMini, post: 168131, member: 20587"] Actually, I tried it and it worked fine in MP. First, I installed Viz II, selected it in the Vista Control Panel as the screen saver and directed it to my Pictures Folder, which is on a NAS. Then I went to the Options of WMP, selected Viz II as the visualization, then pointed it to the same Pictures folder. Finally, went to Pictures in the MP Setup, selected Viz II as Visualization, left the transition setting at 15fps and then fired up MP. It works as advertised, although MS's transitions are a little tacky. At the end, I ended up disabling it, because it just didn't feel right having to look at my hairy legs on a beach somewhere, while listening to the Four Seasons:-) Also, MP is smart enough to keep the screen saver Off while it is playing stuff in full screen. Don't know why you get stuck on the first picture. Maybe an update has fixed it, or you are using an underpowered box (although the Mac Mini I use is not exactly a speed demon.) __________________________________________________________________ Vista Ultimate 32bit on an Intel Mac Mini (Dual Core 1.66,) the the RC1 version of MP and the Foofaraw skin.
