The slide show is large, but you can't control the speed or make a selection
like the filmstrip. The "large icons" aren't large at all.

Help Please!!! Vista is soooooo frustrating.
 
Filmstrip view is gone. The equivalent is enabling the preview pane in your
pictures folders (Organize -> Layout). You can drag the left-hand border
further left to enlarge the pane.

I don't know which slide show you are referring to but if it's desktop
icons you want larger you can press and hold 'Ctrl' whilst rotating you
mouse wheel 'upwards' , should you have one. Click in empty desktop
first so that it's active.

If you lower your expectations dramtically, the frustrating part goes
away. The dissapointment goes away too.
 
Slide show in what? Everybody seems to have a photo manager these days
(Picasa, Kodak, Olympus, etc.)

In an Explorer window, you can select multiple pictures using the Ctrl or
Shift keys, then click on Slideshow.
There are 3 speed options, click on the little gear icon at the bottom of
the screen.
If you want to change the thumbnail size, press Ctrl, and roll the mouse
wheel.

In Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Live Photo Gallery, it works the same,
except you click on the slide button at the bottom to start the slideshow.

There is also a photo slideshow screensaver.
 
You may try Picasa or Ashampoo Photo Optimizer 2 to get filmstrip
view. I am sure there are many others but those are two I have.

Why are you telling me this?????

I didn't have the problem and while I might have Office Picture
Manager, the OP may not.

Let me guess... for the same reason you top post? Because he can, he
chose to do it that way, it's just his style and if anybody doesn't
like they can go away or get used to it

Now, about those five question marks...
