Google hijacking My Pictures

[mikemaber]

I have a Dell running Vista. Over the last few weeks up pops a slide show of all my pictures with a large Google logo. Moving my mouse makes it disappear. I am effectively getting "wall paper" I do not want.

Any ideas please on how to break this link?

It's not the Google Photos Screensaver is it? The screensaver would certainly disappear when you move the mouse.


Are they your own photos that you have on your computer? Do they appear after a few minutes of non-use?

Let us know.

Sounds like Picasa pictures screensaver, which Google own, has replaced your own.

Thank you nivrip and muckshifter. It turned out to be the Google screensaver. I have disabled. Thanks again.
