    Slide Show Screen Saver Error


    I've been using the Slide Show Screen Saver for a while now but recently a problem cropped up. The slide show would run for about 5 minutes or so but then it would freeze on a picture for a bit and then the screen would go black with a "An error has stopped the slide show from playing" message. What's wrong and how can I fix it?

    An error is preventing this slide show from playing

    I have an unusual variant of the “an error is preventing this slideshow from playing” message. If I leave the screen for several minutes it suddenly goes blank and this message starts creeping all over it slowly. I have never run a Microsoft slideshow and
    I have no screensaver – I am running a bog standard Acer
    Aspire XC600 running Windows 10. It is not preventing any slideshow from playing - but it is just a nuisance - and I worry there may be an underlying problem.
