Stream 13: Black as screen wallpaper on desktop

I've owned my HP 13 Stream for over a year now, but since I have opened in the area of and and tried to change my wallpaper to the default values, there simply, solid black. All I want to do is put a wallpaper that I might enjoy is not just this dull Uni background or one of those who came prepackaged with the netbook.

Any help would be appreciated as possible solutions, I tried did not help. I follow my OS updated and I am careful with what I do online, in addition to cleaning regularly and checking viruses and malware.

My screen looks like in below, although I edited on my shortcuts because they are all personal files (and trash).

  • Black login screen

    When starting, a black login screen prevents my screen 4 K of login in. Computer must be stopped with force and restarted. Memory NVRAM/PRAM resetting has not helped.

    It seems that it is a problem with the mac and display negotiate the appropriate resolution.

    You can use the mac at all? After the reboot, does it work?

    It works with a different view?

    You can try to connect "blind"? It is possible that after a disconnection of the display and the figure of mac it. (Weird, I know; but it is not really difficult to connect even without the screen, if you know what position in the list, your account is just press the left or right arrow keys, enter, password, enter).

    Maybe better, if you have access to another mac, use the screen sharing feature to connect; then go to system-> Display Preferences and try to choose a frame that works.

This happened almost 10 minutes now and I don't know what to do to be able to find the main screens of the application and to be able to continue to watch the shows within the app.

    Press twice on the logo TV button then slide upward on the touchpad.

    Thanks for the file INF. I ck'ed for driver updates and I have the latest drivers installed.  I got the sound working on the TV by hanging the audio output of the PC to the entrance of the TV with the HDMI cable in place for video. It's the simplest solution to this problem, so I took it.

  • I want to uninstall this new screen wallpaper changer "Smile" of Webshot to my hard drive.

    Original title: uninstaller

    Hello community,

    I want to uninstall this new screen wallpaper changer "Smile" of Webshot to my hard drive. I tried to do this several times, but each time that the system tells me that the program is running and, therefore, cannot honor my request. The old screen Webshot wallpaper changer has worked well, but something wrong with this new program of replacement, because it seems it is controlling my computer. So, how can I get this piece of my computer without having to wipe the hard drive and reload Windows 7? Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hula Baloo,

    Thanks for the suggestion. However, I found an answer to the same exact question in the forum, April 2011.  As explained, the procedure to stop a running program is very simple (if you know what to do). This forum MS questions / answers is a wonderful virtual community.

  • When I try to change my lock screen wallpaper I get error saying "setting of the lock screen has failed. Please try again ".

    Original title: locking error screen

    Hello. I use Win 8 Pro x 64 and I'm having a problem affecting the lock screen wallpaper. I am the admin of the machine and Windows is activated.

    After a few days ago, Windows stopped to change my lock screen background. When I try to change it, the error is displayed on the screen:

    LOCK SCREEN ERROR

    Setting the lock screen has failed. Please try again.
    However, I can still change my profile picture and the bottom of the start menu.
    Other users of the computer can change the lock screen normally. My user account is linked to my Outlook.com account as well as others.
    I already tried the other 'solutions' out there: in doing a selective startup with msconfig, disable services applications at startup and also manually delete the folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData". Needless.
    I also have the feeling of other users on the web: it's somehow connected to some Windows updated published these days.
    I would appreciate any help on this matter.

    Hi, Tadasha. Thanks for the reply.

    In regards to KB 2770917 updates, I already installed it on my Win 8 as well as others (I keep the OS always up to date). So it has not really helped but thanks.
    On the tip of the gob0nkers is not really the case here, because I don't want to set a wallpaper of single lock for each user (in fact I had already read his answer to the question of ch). So far I have found no article on the web by offering an effective way to work around the problem.
    What I've done: created another user profile and abandoned the old (who introduced the problem). I think that it is related to the file the user AppData or something.
    So far things are working well with the new profile of the user.
    Thanks for the help!
  • Side to side thinapp product black cmd screen update

  • How can I make my full screen wallpaper? It appears like that but now you just see the image at the Center with black borders around. WIndows 7

    I have WIndows 7. My office used to demonstrate the sreen integralexecuterdes but now some re cropped images offshore or too small for the screen showing the black border around the image.

    Are the part of the black edges of the Office that is can you put the mouse cursor or the icons in the black box, or the dark area "wasted space".

    If the black box is "wasted space" around your office, then it is possible that you will need to adjust your monitor settings, etc., to fill the new image size screen.

    If you can move things in black areas i.e. office is full screen but the image is not, then it may be the type of wallpaper in personalization, "position of the image.

    Right-click on your desktop.

    Click Customize

    down, click on "desktop background".

    down is a drop down selection list called "position of the image.

    It has options such as - Fill, Fit, Stretch, Tile and Center

    Try each one in turn and see if it helps.

    If it is then

    If this isn't the case, you have loaded new updates as new graphics drivers lately?

  • Black screen instead of desktop Windows XP on Satellite A100-455

    I now have a permanent problem with my laptop Satellite A100-455, since it does not stop properly (in fact that he stopped when the battery was out...).
    Now systematically when I try to start the laptop, after the Toshiba and Windows XP family logo the rest black (only the work of the mouse arrow), the Windows desktop display ever!

    Even with a mode F8, I tried a few options without success...
    What can I do?
    Do you think that the only solution is the recovery of the system with the original recovery CD supplied with the laptop?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hmm, try this:
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
    Wait a bit (1 hour should be enough) and together the two parties again.
    Then try to restart the device

    Otherwise, the new installation of the OS by using the recovery disk is a good choice and shouldn't take too long the procedure as a whole doesn't take longer than 10 minutes!

    See you soon and good luck!
