Right click the desktop, select Properties then the Screensaver tab. Using the dropdown menu select the desired screensaver, if you want to use a slide show you will need to get software to do that. Next click the Power button. you can now set the screen switch off time, but be aware that if you select 'Never' when using battery power, you will discharge the battery much faster.
