I store my photos in Picasa, with all the photos correctly orientated.  When
I choose one of my photo albums to provide a windows slideshow screensaver
(in XP Pro) some of the photos appear sideways in the wrong orientation. 
Please can someone advise how I overcome that problem?  Thanks in
antciaipation.

Ian-
Have you tried looking at the source that Windows is pulling the photos from
to use in the screensaver?  It could be that your source is the original
non-rotated photos that you have saved on your computer. 
Here is a link to the Microsoft XP screensaver help page.  I hope it helps
and good luck!

Thanks Jeff

It appears windows stores the original, and therefore shows the unrotated
view as you state.  Thanks for taking the time to respond
