background or wallpaper

How can I change my windows laptop background or wallpaper?

This will depend on the operating system installed. What you need to do is right click on a space empty on your desktop and select Customize (for Windows 7 or Vista), then select a theme or background.

  • shadow of hand and side of the plain of background color / wallpaper

    Hello. I have a slate 7HD for when out and about, that I'm unable to write by hand. I'm really happy with it and use a background application to solid without any problem. However, my mother and I got ourselves a 10HD slate this week and get a boring shade on each side of the background / wallpaper. This does not happen if you use a photo background, which is not what I want to do.

    If anyone can help, I would be really grateful. Thank you

  • How to remove the background of wallpaper or Image?

    When I start my PC, it's an image that the previus owner was and it only shows when starts and it goes far (acctually when warms up) but is nothing you can do becuse you cannot use the mouse since isn't yet, I get the picture but I can't find to delet it, what should I do , I use a computer dell laptop and I am using windows vista.

    Hello

    If you please check the two registry location and check the location of the paper painted.  Please do not delete anything immediately.  Please report to me informing me of what you have seen.

    The system records the usual background screen background image in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper registry key. If you have enabled Active Desktop and chose a different background image, such as JPEG, the system stores this wallpaper in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER Explorer\Desktop\General\Wallpaper registry key.

    As with a standard wallpaper, with the Active Desktop wallpaper, you can tile the wallpaper using the TileWallpaper 1 value, and you can focus or stretch the wallpaper by setting the WallpaperStyle. A value of 0 centers wallpaper; a value of 2 it extends. In the first connection, the system displays the standard wallpaper until all the boot process and the Active Desktop is enabled.

    I hope that this information is beneficial.

    Thank you

  • background images (wallpaper) twinkle in view when scrolling in FF

    I think the above sentence on described all this. Essentially, FF flickers power on and off when I scroll. I tried the mode of sure start with addons disabled, reset and I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have a Windows 7 operating system and that I just installed a new hard drive. This problem started with the new hard drive.

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:
