Are you using the "My Pictures Slideshow" as your screensaver? If so,
the Settings button has an option concerning speed of the time between
pictures. Look in the folder that is being used for pics that aren't
being displayed. (I guess the filetype would dictate this.) If there
are many, they could be delaying the display of the next usable pic. In
that case, you might need to move the disallowed filetype to a different
folder so they won't interfere with the smooth transition to another
usable pic.

thank you xp was not using xp preiumn for the pictures folder it used
documents and settings. I don't know how that changed for my pictures
folder. but i changed it back thank you
gerry

Right click your Desktop.
Click on Properties.
Click on the Screen Saver tab.
Click on the Settings button.
Move the How often should my pictures change slider to the left to DECREASE
the time and move it to the right to INCREASE the time.

You can move from 6 seconds to 3 minutes.

The slider specifies how long each picture will remain on the screen in the
screen saver. To adjust the amount of time, move the slider.


To use personal pictures as a screen saver
1. Ensure that you have two or more pictures in a folder on your computer.
You can upload pictures from a digital camera or scanner, or copy them from
the Internet or an e-mail attachment.
2. Open Display in Control Panel. Or right click the Desktop, select
Properties and click the Screen Saver tab.
3. On the Screen Saver tab, under Screen saver, click My Pictures Slideshow
in the list.
4. Click Settings to specify the folder containing your pictures, define
picture size, and set other options.

Notes
* To open Display, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and
then double-click Display.
* My Pictures Slideshow scrolls through all the pictures in the folder.
* After you specify a screen saver, it will automatically start when your
computer is idle for the number of minutes specified in Wait.
* Click Preview to see how the selected screen saver will appear on your
monitor. Move your mouse or press a key to end the preview.
