Cannot change desktop picture

• Cannot change desktop via right click

  I'm in my browser or the finder, when I right click on an image option 'set the desktop picture' time is absent. Has anyone experience this problem? and if so, does anyone know a fix? I know it's a minor issue, but I would like that it resolved just for convenience.

  I'm guessing you're a convert from Windows. This isn't how you set the wallpaper on a Mac. See OS X Yosemite: give a look tailored to your office

  Select Start, Control Panel. Display, customization, wallpaper and use the scroll to change the location of the picture to the picture library or use the Browse button. Select the images to use (note the tick in the left corner of each selected photo).

• Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

  I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

  I apologise for the inconvenience.

  Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

  However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

• Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

  Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

  Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
  Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

  Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
  What Miss me?

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

  What Miss me? Should I first set a password?

  Hi there @mucckki,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  I understand that you want to change the BIOS language on your system in current Dutch English.  I'm happy to help you with this.

  Was the Dutch language that the BIOS was set to out of the box or he later changed in Dutch?

  If original default systems was English, you can try to look at the motherboard of your system guide. HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - specifications of the motherboard, Thimphu. At the bottom of the page is an indicator for the riders for the BIOS and CMOS password. If your default language was English, you can use the jumper to clear the current CMOS settings, including language.

• Disable the user change your picture account

  Hello.

  I have several users cast in place on my login screen. I have set permissions through gpedit.msc so that they use a fixed theme and cannot change any part of this theme. Indeed the customization is "gray" for a user.

  I put a different picture for each user name to help to have identify which icon to click to connect.

  I would like to deactivate a possibility to users to modify or to change the image that I put.

  I don't want to use a default Windows image to the standard address, and I don't want all users to have the same image.

  So, as in the image on the screen, I want all the images the user to stay as they are now.

  With gratitude any help appreciated.

  

  I'm not sure how much power you want your users to have, but maybe you can just set the policy to stop them from using the Panel at all.  Then they will not be able to edit the image (or something else).

• Cannot change the wallpaper and the theme of Windows 7 Home premium.

  Cannot change the desktop background.  I have a gateway Media Center GT5014.  They said there was a MS pilot specially for this problem but I don't know that it's the official name.  Or not my "update software drivers".  Ms certainly knows what it is... I've seen some answers in the forum for the starter editions, but nothing for the Home Premium edition.  I can't change themes, wallpapers.  Thank you.  kiki47z
