Cannot set personal images as desktop wallpaper

I am trying to turn my desktop a personal picture and the screen goes black. It will change the display, but not photos in my file.
I want to change my computer's desktop to a picture in my folder, but it won't.

Hello

What is the file format of the images that you try to set as wallpaper?

Try these steps and check if that helps:

Step 1:

a. navigate to the following location:
%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
b. check if you see INI files at this location.
c. If Yes, then open the files in Notepad.
d. remove the contents of the file and save it.
e. restart the computer and check to see if that fixes the problem.

Step 2:

I suggest to create a new user account and check if it helps.

Follow these steps to create a new user account:
a. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, then clicking on user accounts.
b. click on manage another account.   If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
c. click on create a new account.
d. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type (Administrator), and then click on create an account.

    No, it's not just you.  This menu item is removed full screen mode.  I don't know if it is a control is intentional.  Tell Apple about the missing features you want restored or new features added in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • Cannot change the position of the image to my desktop wallpaper.

    * Original title: I can't change my background image position.

    The image of my wallpaper position is always in "stretch" I tried to change, but my computer still affects that. Is there something I need to install to solve this problem?

    Thank you for this, but I found a solution earlier on the site of HP.

    I searched my computer laptop "support and troubleshooting" tab, then click "drivers" and then click "software solutions".

    I downloaded what's called the "wallpaper picture Position Enabler" and now the problem is solved.

  • Why can't I put a picture in my Gallery personal photo as my (desktop wallpaper) background now?

    I mean, it's just recently (about a week) I noticed that the only way I am able to set a picture as my wallpaper is when I go into Control Panel, browse and then set. Whereas before I could always just do a right-click on the image and choose 'set as wallpaper' to change. Now, when I right click on any pic stored in my Gallery and choose the option set as my bottom nothing happens! No idea why it suddenly does not work when I click with the right button on the image and choose as wallpaper? What can I do to fix this?

    Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  • Unable to set this image as wallpaper. An internal error has occurred.

    After a power cut my desktop wallpaper disappeared leaving behind just a color screen. I also noticed that some icons have only the empty space above the title, rather than the image of the icon, as it used to be. Also, when I try to restart my computer it turns off, but do not return. Seems like several unrelated problems, but maybe there's a common problem?

    I tried to do a restore of system a few days ago, no chance at fixing one of these.

    Any ideas?

    Here is the solution:

  • How to set the image as wallpaper BB10...?

    We have all seen textures or commonly say images set as background for applications. In my application, I need to set an image as the background is. I watch in the form of material BB 10 but I couldn't find anything useful. If anyone has an idea please share it. Thanks in advance.

    Or this:

    [Embed(source='assets/bg.jpg')]       private var bg_img    : Class;
    private var bg : Image = new Image();
    ...
    
    this.bg.setImage( new bg_img() );
    this.addChild( this.bg );
    

    This assumes that the resource is the right size.  Like the idea of him having greatness adapted, but certain circles are not looking good if reduced too.

  • Cannot select more than one bitmap image in desktop Animate

    I can't select more than one bitmap image in desktop Animate. Always select the same object, what should I do?

    I guess these bitmaps are on the scene. They are all on the same layer? Who is always selected is large and, perhaps, on top of all the others?

    If the bitmaps are all on one layer, you can separate each in separate layers. Once you do this, you can lock / unlock layers individually so that you can work with one image at a time.

  • Icons cannot be moved on the desktop

    I just changed my desktop image.  I noticed the trash moved to the side left (he was on the right side at the start) in line with my other icons.  When I try to drag the icon to the trash to another area on the desktop, it jumps to the left side.  What I've done wrong?

    It seems that "Auto arrange" has set in motion.

    Right-click on an empty space on your desktop, then:

    Organize the icons in-> uncheck "auto arrange".

    "Icons disappear or that you cannot move icons on the desktop".

  • Display quality desktop wallpaper?

    The display of desktop wallpaper is always poor and does not properly handle the colors. My monitor is calibrated correctly with the pantone huey pro.  Color display correctly in photoshop and viewer of images, but not on the desktop.  How can I fix it?  Is there a setting somewhere that I have to change?

    I knew someone had a similar problem the thread below; However, it was never completely. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/GettingReadyforWindows7/thread/f18065a9-25b6-462C-b593-a1d8bb8eeb9a

    Response of Azam is misleading...  A JPEG file can be displayed as wallpaper and it can look very well.

    Your image itself carries an other than sRGB color profile?  Based on your description, I bet for this.

    If so, open the image in Photoshop and convert the color profile sRGB via the Edit -> convert to profile menu, then save the image, then place it during the desktop display.

    Windows does not in general, image color management and so it assigns (guess of any image is in) the sRGB color space.
