    Hi CrazyPizzaJoe,

    Run a scan for malware by installing the tool following "Malwarebytes" from the link: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

    Make sure that you update the Malwarebytes tool before you run the analysis and then run a full scan and remove if infected files found on the computer.

    After that, open a Notepad and copy the following text and save it as desktop.reg on your desktop

    After you save the file on the desktop as doubleclick desktop.reg top and click Yes when prompted and click Ok to confirm, and then restart the computer.

    Then try to change the desktop wallpaper and check.

    Please answer if this helps.

    23 "monitor a 3-1/2" black band on the left side of the desktop background. How to expand the context in which to adjust Monitor?

    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.

    Currently I use a node use-> Get Image to gain a picture of my graph of the intensity.

    I want to change the gray background to a flat white or black. Is this possible?

    Graphics intensity is not the usual 'export simplified image', I would say that you paint the transparent background image (foreground and background).  If you really like the Peek, you could add a 'Horizontal smooth box' decoration at the front who don't become not part of the image.
