The information in this article applies to:

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

SUMMARY
=======

When more than one collection is selected in the Screen Saver Settings, the
images may not appear to display randomly.

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

The selection of an image is not out of a total pool of images. The algorithm
that selects the next image randomly selects a collection, making sure not to
use the same collection twice in a row. Within each collection, the image number
is randomly chosen with no tracking.

For example, if you have selected a collection with 100 images and a collection
with 10 images, then you will most likely see repeats of the images in the 10
image collection.
