Sleep and Photos screensaver

[Guest Delboy]

I seem to recall many moons ago, reading here that if there were "too many"

images in the designated folder in Photos screen saver, the computer failed

to turn off display and sleep. Is this still the case?

 

I had Ribbons as my saver, Wait = 10 minutes, Turn off display = 20 min,

Sleep = 30 min. Worked perfectly.

 

Change to Photos, designated folder C:\Users\User Name\Pictures\, same Power

settings Wait OK, no turn off display, no sleep.

 

Any gurus out there any ideas? any "missed" updates? any other settings

apart from the obvious in Control Panel - Personalization?

 

Vista Home Prem, SP2, all other updates except IE8.
