Vista Doesn't Display All My Collections

First of all, please read the directions before starting the actual process.

We have reports from some users that Vista won't display all their installed collections. If this happens, the fix is to delete an incorrect file that Vista creates in the VirtualStore:

Step 1. Search for the file "slideshw.ini" on your computer. This is done by seleting "Search" from the Windows "Start" button, then entering "slideshw.ini" and then click "Advanced Search". Change "location" to "Everywhere" and select the "Include non-index, hidden, and system files" checkbox.

Step 2. If it finds the slideshw.ini file in the VirtualStore (look for this text in the "Location" column), then right click on the filename and select "Delete" and confirm you want to send it to the recycle bin. Important: Do not delete the Slideshw.ini file found in the "Windows" folder or all your collections will disappear!

Now reboot your computer. Your collections should now show properly in Image Manager and the screen saver.

CUSTOMER APPLAUSE: I have been buying Second Nature's screen savers for several years now so I have quite a "library" for my desktop and laptop. Your pricing is terrific and it is easy to find all that I've purchased and redownload if necessary. Your contributions in support of our environment is as important to me as any other aspect of the way you do business. When we all start "giving back" as part of every decision we make and dollar we spend... we are bound to make the world a better place. You can quote me on that! Cathy Hoot, Franklin, TN
