A number of years ago, I bought the Plus! package,
mainly to get a slide show screen saver that was
sequential (the XP built-in juggles them in random
sequence). I complained here and in a Plus! newsgroup
about the fact that there is no way to make the Plus!
presentation of landscape-oriented .JPGs expand to
more than half the screen area, to no avail.

I'm curious as to whether Microsoft ever upgraded Plus!
to improve the deficiency, or perhaps came out with a
completely new package, or whether there might be a work-
around that would have the effect of making a sequential
slide show as a screen-saver.


There is no chance of MS doing any development work on Plus! but there are alternatives out there..

Try this one..

Thank you, Mike. That makes a far better slideshow/screensaver.
