its real easy, but i can't figure it out in 2000
 
This isn't built in to 2000. There are third party screensavers that you
can use to do this. I don't know of any though. I'm sure Google does
though.

Posted this before, fwiw...
There are several free and shareware utilities which allow you to
create a screen saver from your pictures.

E.g., the freeware ImageForge image program has a tool to do make a
slideshow screen saver from your photos or images. The download is at
http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_imffw.html To do screensavers in Image
Forge...

1- go to its "Tools" menu and then to "Create Album or Slide Show"

2- on the "Image Files" tab, click the + button to add your pictures

3- also on the "Image Files" tab, there is a check box to turn your
slide show into a screen saver

4- go to the "Viewer" tab to give a file name for the screen saver
(this should end in the letters ".SCR" - without the quote marks)

5- go to the "Slide Show" tab to add animated effects and sound if you
want.

Once you generate the screen saver's .SCR file, just copy it to your
"C:\Windows\System32" folder so that you can select your new screen
saver from the list in Windows' Control Panel/Display.
