Hi, gang. I haven't been around in a while. I'm glad to see a bunch of familiar posters are still in there kickin'.
I use the Win10 screen saver slide show option. It starts and runs nicely, but after running for a while it stops with a displayed error:
"An error is preventing this Slide Show from playing."
As I play images stored in different seasonal directories, and it occurs no matter which directory's images I'm showing, I don't think it's likely that this is tied to specific problem image files.
Is there any log I can check to see the cause of the error, or something I can set up to track this?

Something in Irfanview I've never explored, or even realized was there. Not as simple as pointing Win's native slide show at a directory filled with images, but if it runs without error, it is doable.

I typically leave the unit up and running 24/7. In my Win power settings, I changed the desktop hard drive setting never to shut down when the computer is turned on, thinking maybe that was the problem. The screen saver errored out a couple of times that day, so I figured that wasn't it.
But since that day, the screen saver slide show just keeps running like a champ. Go figure.
Maybe the hard disk setting didn't go into effect until the system was rebooted and an overnight Win update rebooted the system?
