3. Select 'My Pictures Slideshow' from the drop-down list
Hint: Click the 'Settings...' button to adjust the transition settings, time, etc
4. Click 'Apply'
5. Click 'OK'

In Vista:
1. Start > Control Panel > Personalization
2. Click 'Screen Saver'
-In the 'Screen Saver' field
3. Select 'Photos' from the drop-down list

That's it!

Most likely, you will need the PowerPoint Viewer. Here's where you can get it:  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=428D5727-43AB-4F24-90B7-A94784AF71A4&displaylang=en

Also, Microsoft has viewer software for Word http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=95E24C87-8732-48D5-8689-AB826E7B8FDF&displaylang=en

and Excel http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c8378bf4-996c-4569-b547-75edbd03aaf0&displaylang=EN

There isn't a viewer for Publisher, but you can download and install a 60 trial of Publisher 2007 at: http://us1.trymicrosoftoffice.com/product.aspx?re_ms=oo&family=publisher&culture=en-US

I hope this helps!
