You can download/install IrfanView, free graphics program and use that to make the screensaver (.scr) file.

http://irfanview.com

Add the full list of plug-ins.

Then, open Irfanview, click the file menu, click the "slideshow" command.

Open your pictures you want in the screensaver, then add them to the list. Order them anyway you like.

When ready, click the "save as exe/scr" button. Select a save location and and filename and create your screensaver.

You can of course experiment with this until you get it exactly how you like it.

Here are some more tricks using IrfanView: IrfanView
