The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Scenes (all collections), version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Scenes 2.0 may pause and display a "Changing Wallpaper..." indicator when the
screen saver is interrupted.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This pause is by design. It is caused by turning on "Change wallpaper picture
with screen saver" in the Screen Saver settings.

The pause is caused by Scenes writing the MSSCENES.BMP file to disk, and Windows
redrawing the desktop wallpaper bitmap. Scenes 1.0 writes the file to disk and
updates the desktop after every image; Scenes 2.0 does it only on exit.
