Cannot add photo for wallpaper

My background is all black and the usual procedures to use an image as my desktop wallpaper have no effect. There is a kind of choice, that I was given when I bought my computer that makes it all black, but whatever the setting was I don't remember and so do not know how to disable or change. A possible allusion to the problem that I discovered, is that when I have an open application and click on to show the desktop, I tried to add the background image is visible to the fraction of a second.

2 areas to check...

1. start > in the search box, type easy access > press > at the bottom, click on "Make it easier to focus on the task" > heading reading, make sure no check mark to "Remove Background Images" > click Apply >

Click on "Make the computer easier to see" > also make sure no check mark to "Remove Background Images" > click OK

2 right-click on the desktop > customize > down, click desktop background > photo location header, does say "Solid Colors"?, if yes, click on the point to the right and select the folder where your photos are > now you should see a collection of photos inside the box > select the one you want > click on save changes when finished.

  • Cannot add photos to regular catalog

    Initially, I had no problem doing that, or in creating catalogs smart but recently, I find that after importing and editing a series of new pictures... I can't add the (or a subset selected) to a catalog?

    I must have something stupid rule now, because for I try to drag a folder or a single or a set of photos of the named grid selected in the Gatalog view... I get a black circle with a line through it, on the name of the catalog and the images cannot be added to thevcatalog...

    Advice on why this question has started to happen would be most appreciated.

    Kind regards

    JimS...

    P.S. I have the. Lr5 beta installed and her to behave in the same way that Lr4.4 is now too

    You cannot drag to add photos to a smart collection. To add photos to a smart collection, they must have appropriate metadata such as specified in the creation of the smart collection; or you change the smart collection.

    Another common mistake is when you drag pictures to a regular collection, you must select photos in the grid and then tap the photo itself (not the gray rectangle surrounding the photo) and drag.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot add photos to an existing album.

    try to add photos (Yes, photos on iPad) from camera roll album on iPad.  Impossible to do since the age on the photo stream. Is there a way to get around this?

    I use a photo stream on all my devices and I have no problem adding photos I take with the iPad or the iPhone in existing albums, as long as these albums are albums that I created on the device. You can not add photos to albums synced to the devices themselves.

    How are you trying to add them to the existing albums? You are in view thumbnail in the Filmstrip and typing Select to choose the photos you want to add?

  • Cannot add permissions for users Active Directory - the directory access error

    Hi all

    VCenter, connected as long as user with administrator privileges on the server, Active Directory running I am can be used to add permissions for domain accounts and just get errors:

    Right-click on the data center & gt; Add authorization & gt; Select read-only & gt; Add users and groups & gt; Select the domain & gt; (the list is NOT populated with users)

    Among users, enter my account of user AD & gt; Click on check names & gt; "The following names are not found: xxx".

    Enter the AD user account in the search box & gt; Click Search & gt; "A general system error occurred: directory access error.

    The only son I can find or KB articles relate to the modification of the period of Active Directory.  I did, but it did not help.

    Any ideas why I can't delegate permissions? I do not think we have group policies that are resticting access, but I don't know which of the log files I should I seek to find the real problem.

    Thank you

    Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition, vSphere Client 4.0.0 build 162856, vCenter Server 4.0.0 build 162856, ESXi 4.0.0 build 181792

    The problem that I had was related to what service vCenter services were running as.  No doubt during the installation (for some reason that escapes me now) I had configured the VMware VirtualCenter Server and VMware VirtualCenter Management Web services run under the local administrator account.  Change these so they ran as system Local solved the problem, and then I have a list of domain users and assign them permissions.

  • Cannot add location for photo

    I can manually add locations to all my photos except one. The location field is absent.

    I tried to duplicate it but still no location field.

    The only difference I see is that the photo is a jpeg image and not a jpg file.

    How can I change the photo so that I can add the location?

    Thank you

  • Cannot add photos to my Gallery of photos from my PC

    Tonight I have successfully downloaded a picture from my PC to my photostream (clicked right on the photo/add to the shared album). Went to charge a second picture and all of a sudden cannot download any photo to any photostream. It manifests and all stages of work, but the pictures never appear on the stream (photostream still works fine on my phone, but nothing can be added to my PC). I tried to create a stream and I restarted my computer. Ideas?

    First of all, make sure that you have enough free memory on your iPhone. If there is enough memory, try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    What screensaver? It has no Source button with the current screen savers. Just one "Source:" label with a drop down to choose from.

  • Cannot add support for the Playbook to current BlackBerry World BB10 version of our application


    Hello

    Had a problem similar - but in reverse - adding a BB10 release to a current version of the playbook.

    Here's how I got around it - should work in reverse, I think.

    1. open the playbook .bar file

    2. open the MANIFESTO. MF in the META-INF folder

    3. get the name of the package (here is an example of one of my packages.

    Package name: tablet3731b5c1d4101618595519828bae380ff4

     

    4. change the bb10 config file to include the name of the package: -.

    "" http://www.w3.org/NS/widgets"xmlns:rim ="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets " version = '1.0.3' id = 'tablet3731b5c1d4101618595519828bae380ff4' > '.

  • Simple question... How do to add pictures on the body of my MAILS found 1000 results for how can I add photos to my Thunderbird emails

    How can simple question - I add photos to my mail body. But instead of the answer - found 1000 results for how can I add photos to my Thunderbird emails. There are answers that don't apply at all to the question anyway. Why must it be so difficult to get a simple answer to a simple question?

    Thunderbird is a bit like Microsoft, all the reasons as I dumped MS Live Mail.

    First, a lot of help for Thunderbird refers to the menus that may not be visible. It would be useful to you and us if you have your menus and toolbars visible.

    http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.UK/13_Menus_in_Thunderbird.html

    Then, open a window of writing. Activate the menu and operate.

    Now that you see an option "Insert"?

    If this isn't the case, you can assign composing in plain text, which does not support embedded images.

    Tools | Account settings| {Select account} | Composition & addressing and ensure "Compose messages in HTML format" are checked. If it is not already checked, go back to writing a message. No better now?

    Once you have the mode of composition HTML goes, you can use Insert | Image or various permutations of copy - paste and drag - move to the body of your message.
