How to Convert a JPG File to a Screensaver
A screen saver is a program that displays a moving image on your monitor after a specified period of no input. A screen saver may consist of moving text or images. Microsoft Windows comes with a variety of built-in screen savers, but you don't have to be limited to those--you can create your own screen saver using any JPEG file saved on your computer.

Tips & Warnings
It's best to include at least two photos in your screen saver. If you select only one, the screen saver will not move on your screen--it will display a stationary picture. If you select two or more, the screen saver will transition between them.
These steps were tested using Windows 7, but the process should be very similar if you are using Windows Vista.
