Cannot use the desktop background image.

original title: wallpaper image disappeared. Now, there is just a solid color, any image is selected as the backdrop.

This has happened a couple of months, and I tried to reset my computer to last start successfully so far, but without any result. Selective restart does not work either. Any photo I select, no background will stick. All I see is a solid color. I noticed that when I connect to my computer that for a fraction of a second the background image will reappear immediately after as I click login, but will disappear when the office.

Anyone know why this is happening or what I can do about it? There must be a solution to this, or at least a reason why he does. My computer works under XP, is said by the way.

I think it's how I fix. Summer messing around with it for the last half hour...

Right click on desktop---> properties---> select tab desktop

---> Customize Office---> select the Web tab---> check box Lock Desktop items

  • Cannot use the Windows disc Image burner

    When I right-click on an ISO file, the option "burn disc image" does not appear. How can I use this program or set to its default value? (I have used other software with ISO files before. Does make a difference?)

    The application is isoburn.exe which is located in \windows\system32
     
     

    Thanks for responding. This isn't a huge problem, as you have reason to believe that I also have a perfectly functional third party burning software. I just wanted to test effectiveness compared to other solutions Windows disc Image burner. To clarify: I used the virtual drive software installation with ISOs before, and now Windows wants to open the ISOs with one application other than disc Image recorder. If I select open with..., the Windows Disk Image burner is not an option. If you can direct me to the Image disk application recorder connect in my C drive, I could then set it as the default option.

    It's the monitor that is provided with the DELL Expirion computer when it was purchased in July 2012.  I paid a "technician" (certified) to transfer the info from my old computer.

    If its a LCD monitor, you PC resolution to the native resolution of the screens?

    Some monitors have a button self-configured, try pressing that. It can help if there is one.

    At the same time, in your 19 "" are you the full desktop or is it lacks a little? If so, try to change the settings for horizontal and vertical screen on the monitor to move the image.

  • OT: Using the Creative Commons Images in videos

    Anyone here has any experience using Creative Commons images in videos?

    Normally, you must assign the Creative Commons images and include a link to a page of the license, even if the rules are confusing and a lot of people seem to just ignore them. If I take a picture of Creative Commons and use it in a video, I can certainly label it 'Creative Commons' (or maybe even just CC), but I can't link to a particular web page.

    Means that you cannot use the images classed as Creative Commons, Gnu, etc.. ?

    Thank you.

    While a video may not like a website (especially if you are creating a DVD) you can certainly add some text at the bottom with the web link
