[...] I was looking around, I found a screensaver that will load the photo’s randomly. Cool [...]

Additional information: I tried promoting one of my user accounts to â€œComputer administratorâ€, installing Flickr Screensaver, and finally demoting the user back to “Limited”. That made the screensaver show up in Display Properties but when it tries to run it gets the following error:

The application has performed an exception. Please report to Sam Judson (sam@wackylabs.net)
A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Wicked googly screensaver! I have one small problem though. Most of my Windows PCs are set up to not run in permissive mode, i.e. the normal user accounts are set up as “Limited” accounts. Any account that is a “Computer administrator” can use the Flickr screensaver, but “Limited” accounts don’t even show the Flickr screensaver in the list of screensavers on the Display Properties dialog. Any ideas about how to fix or work around this?

Cool application! Thanks for making it!

I have a question about what the app displays. For me(just installed it) I am only see up to a certain amount of photos and then it stops. Also, it keeps showing the same exact photos over and over and I have many more in my Flickr account and the ones that are displaying I have deleted. You say everything is cached for 24 hours, does that mean 24 hours later the app will start to cache/display a different set of photos from my Flickr account?

Thanks again,
Ryan

Lethes: yes, everything it displays is cached (24 hours for API calls, longer for photos).

Matt+Ron Barr: Oh, thats not good. Err, I’ll have to give that a thought. I might have to develop a little test app, can one (or both) of you email me and let me know if you’re willing to give it a go?

I too have the problem where I can only see Sam’s photos. Fine photos they are though!

Great stuff. I was hoping there would be something like this.

I’m running this at work and I’m hoping all these images are cached? Or at least your own photo’s and favourites are cached since they won’t change very often.

Thanks for the great program! For some reason I can’t get the Picture source to be anything other than “Sam Judson”. When I set it to “Everyone”, it resets itself back. No offense, you seem like a nice sort of fellow, but I’m getting kind of tired of your pictures displayed over and over,

Thanks for putting up the 3.2 version…we’re 95% there, but the link is pointing to the wrong location at the moment
