Hello! I found a really cool Picture I'd want for my Screen Saver on my home built, Windows 8.1 64bit. This is what I do Personalize>Screen Saver>Photos. Then On the little Monitor Example it says 'There are no pictures in Libraries\Pictures. So I press Settings>Browse. That opens up a new window. Its like a small Windows File Explorer. So I scroll down and Click Picures, It Expand that. It has 3 Folders, 'Pictures (//MYUSERNAME), Pictures Public (//MYUSERNAME), Downloads (//MYUSERNAME). It doesn't really say MYUSERNAME, but you know what I mean.  Please help me fix this! Thank you! More Info will be given if asked.

Where did you put the picture you downloaded on your computer? You just need to navigate to and select the directory where your picture(s) are stored and select it after choosing the "Browse" option. Any photos in the selected directory will become the screensaver.

I am no Noob to Computers. It some kind of glitch. When I right Click 'Pictures (//MYUSERNAME) and press 'Open File Location' it just says 'Unkown Directory'. It did the same with my Desktop Background until I right clicked the Photo and Pressed 'Set as Desktop Background'. Please help somebody.

Thank you for you comment. However I found another solution. Go back to where it says Pictures (//MYUSERNAME) etc. And press Remove Item Location.
