Error when launching config

Post by Rob49152 »

Whenever I try to launch the configure screen saver I get the error message
'Unable to execute gPhotoShow.scr /c, error 2'

I've uninstalled and re-installed a few times. I can configure only once after an install. I try again and I get the error.

Hello,
Error 2 means file doesn't not exist. How do you configure screen saver ?
If you installed the 64 bit version of gPhotoShow executable name is different, to configure screen saver you should use the shortcut created by the installer or better Windows Settings / Control Panel

I get this error when I launch from the tray in the task bar.
I found that if I bring up the windows screen saver control panel and select configure it launches without any issue.

Ok, now I understand. You are using ControlSS, right click on its icon, choose "gPhotoShow settings"->Configure
Untick the option "Start gphotoshow.scr directly..."
Close wth OK
now it will work
