I suddenly lost the ability to create a wallpaper on my desktop using a one of my digital photos.

I use MS XP Home edition - 2002 with Service Pack 3 installed.

My DTC is a Dell Dimension 4700 with 3 GB of RAM

I got a wallpaper from one of my old digital photos used for more than a year.  This past weekend, I tried to change it to a more recent photo.  He accepted the change initially, but the next time I logged in my system that the new image is gone, replaced by a dark blue background.  Then I did a restore of the system back to Friday October 23 and at the beginning the old returned photo.  Yet once, I could set the new photo as my desktop wallpaper, but it disappeared when I logged on later in the evening.

The new photo was a .bmp file, but when I changed it to a .jpeg file it still doesn't load.

Any help in resolving this problem.  It is very curious.

Hello CaptFBK

Try to copy your image to C:\Windows and see if it stays then.

  • Running Vista Home Premium - lost the ability to create new folders

    Running registered OEM Edition Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 531 AthlonII 4400 + 2.3 GHz, 4 X 1 024 MB 800 MHz Crucial memory, Asus M2N61-AX micro-ATX Mobo, OS on 80 GB Seagate HDD, storage of files on 500 GB Seagate HDD... Has worked perfectly for over a year.

    Installed the free version of "PC Wizard" who has downloaded a bunch of Add-ons that I didn't, so I uninstalled them.  Two days later, when downloading a file, could not create a new folder when you click "New folder" in the top left corner to-do bar (arrange, etc.).  Then tried to create a new folder by right-clicking on the desktop, on the C: drive & drive F: (storage) using Windows Explorer.  No errors, no "new folder" created.  Also impossible to rename folders.  Action seems to work, but when checking the file later, the same name.

    PC works perfectly also.  Tried to restore to the point of previous restoration, without success.  Played "dskcheck" on drive C: with both options checked, no problems found, clean disc.

    Of course, I would appreciate the help.  Thank you.

  • Lost the ability to create tokens of debugging: error: Code signing request has failed because the value debug token of Type Package is not allowed.

    I have been a token of debugging and apps on my device Z10 hundreds of times from the command line and Momentics but this time I am confused.

    I am trying to create a token of debugging (in command line and Momentics) and deploy it in my Z10 camera, but it does not work.   In both cases, I get the following error.

    "Error: Code signing request has failed because the value debug token of Type Package is not allowed."

    2 things have happened recently that make this potentially different situation.

    a.) now my device is currently running OS 10.2

    (b) there was something new regarding signing apps with your blackberry ID?

    I was a little out of the loop for 1-2 months so please forgive me if this problem is very obvious... I am looking for a clue to what I'm doing wrong.

    After "right click" on the file, everything I have to the 'News' section in the menu is 'Binder '.  Anyone out there have a solution?

    Hello

    You have a common problem with Windows 7. The work that I and many others use is a utility called FileMenu Tools. You can download safely from this link: http://download.cnet.com/FileMenu-Tools/3000-2094_4-10810545.html .

    After downloading, double-click the name of the file and install the program. Each option is checked by default. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

    Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Kind regards

  • Lost the ability to download related when files you are using the test server.

    I used to get a dialog when I me overview of files on my local machine using my localhost test server configuration. It's kind of annoying to have to click Yes every time. Last week I clicked the do not show this dialog again and now when I saw a site on my localhost associated files and updated files are not uploaded. I manually download the css, php and other related files to the record of the test server.

    I tried to remove preferences, re-installing Dreamweaver CS4 and all I can think about, but I can't recover this option. Is it possible, except using the same folder for the site and the testing server to avoid this problem?

    Thank you.

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

    Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
    Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
    Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
    You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

    If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

    It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  • I've lost the ability to remove the messages from Outlook Express

    I lost the ability to delete messages from Outlook Express shipped with Windows XP. Does anyone know how to fix this please?

    You have corruption of dbx files.
     
    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Compact all folders as described below.
     
    To avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
     
    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
     
    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
     
    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
